You can, but it really isn't worth it

Uhm, well cooking wine has salt in it. It tastes terrible and I do not even cook with it. However, if you are looking for a good cheap wine, try Sebastiani. Sebastiani varies from about 12 to 15 dollars a bottle.

That depends.
In some areas (like mine) wine, beer and liquors are highly regulated. One must be 21 to purchase it, one may only purcahse it between 10 am and 9 pm on Monday through Saturday. Beer may be sold in any store licensed to do so (grocery, c-store, liquor store) and liquor only in liquor stores (known as package stores). Wine is limited to sales in liquor stores or certain small wineries were it is produced. (These wineries may also sell wine on Sundays).
"Cooking wine" is wine labeled as such and has salt added to it. It is this considered "unpalatable" and not subject to the regulations that other alcoholic beverages are subject to. The same holds true for flavorings such as vanilla flavoring and such. In this case, the strength of the flavor is considered to make the iitem unpalatable.
This is the only difference between cooking wine and any other wine. Although flavors may differ, there is no difference in ingredients other than the addition of salt. As far as cooking only with a wine one would drink, that is a matter of personal preference. IMHO using an expensive table wiine to cook with is a waste of a good wine, whereas using an inexpensive wine when cooking is a good idea. Personally, I find cooking wines too salty and bland.

You can cook with regular wine because it's got a stronger and richer flavor. I was told that only really desperate alcoholics would amount to drinking cooking wine.

What are we going to call cooking wine? Cheapo wine? Marsala? Sherry? Port? Any wine can be used to cook with and any wine can be used to drink. One thing I know is that today's kitchens often use "special" cooking wine. It is laced with salt so that it is not palatable and very hard to drink straight up. Keeps the alcoholic cooks away.

Cooking wine is usually not as palate able as drinking wine. I generally just use table wine to cook.

Cooking wine is specially made to taste and blend well with food. Yes, you can drink it, but it tastes differently then regular wine and moight make you sick; drinking wine in food probably won't taste as well as cooking wine.

I've known only one person who would drink cooking wine. It is loaded with salt to make it unpalatable (and foul up your recipe). We always cook with regular wine.

Yes you can cook with regular wine, but I don't suggest you drink the wine that you cook with becuase it probably has like a blend of spices and raw herpes that are meant to be cooked with only
