Cooking wine is used in a lot of things -- especially Dry Sherry. You can find it on the shelves in the grocery store next to the mustard, if that is what you are asking.
Important note: cooking wine has a lot of salt added to it in order to make it undrinkable; this makes cooking wine exempt from the local liquor laws. Adjust your recipes to use less salt (instructions as to just how much salt is on the label of the bottle).

Amontillado is a good dry sherry, this is a type of sherry not a brand name. However you should bear in mind that sherry's in general are sweeter than other wines and in cooking them you will condense that, a bit like a Marsala. Never, never, never use the cooking wines you find in the grocery store. They are salty, bitter and not good at all for cooking. Another rule of thumb is never cook with a wine you wouldn't drink or serve to your guests.

Sherry is a fortified wine that is sold like liquor. The clerk can help you pick out which one is dry.
There is also cooking sherry that you can get in the grocery store. It has a lot of added salt - enough to make it useless to winos - and gives a much different taste to your food.
