Yes. The tastes are so similar that there will be little to no difference in your recipe. Many times the different colors are chosen simply for the color. For example, in a white sauce, red wine vinegar might change the end color of it. Appearances only! Taste will be fine!
i think you should use red wine vinegar with a dash of balsamic if you want sweet. otherwise just stick with a vinegar
Yes but you will change the outcome due to flavor difference.
Yes, the flavor is very similar. The dish will be a slightly different color, but may not be noticable.
White wine!
Yes, if an acidic factor is all you are interested in. Sherry vinegar would be the next closest substitute but the taste of dry or sweet sherry for a sauce or marinade is fairly distinctive and to a discerning palate, quite noticable.
Two different items you will change the outcome of the dish. I would stick to the recipe.
brown rice vinegar OR Chinese black vinegar (cheaper) OR red wine vinegar + sugar or honey OR sherry vinegar OR fruit vinegar
Red wine vinegar, if you have it.
reduced red wine
No, because sauternes is a sweet white wine, while marsala and sherry are red and can be dry.
Sherry is a fortified wine, usually brown in color. Wine vinegars are the result of bacterial action increasing the acidity in wine while lowering the alcohol content. Sherry vinegar is a type or sub-set of wine vinegar, often sweeter that most wine vinegars, started from Sherry wine. While other types of wine vinegar often show up in vinigrettes and salad dressing, due to its sweetness and stronger flavor, Sherry Vinegar does so rarely if at all. Other types of wine vinegars include red, white, champagne etc. Sherry vinegar is often used as a substitute for sweetened rice vinegar (Mirin).
yes you can
Cooking sherry is low-quality sherry with salt added. There is no reason to buy cooking sherry. Purchase any inexpensive sherry and this will give you better control over the sodium content of your food. For a non alcoholic substitute try a mixture of vinegar, sugar and a dash of lemon juice OR a mixture of apple, cranberry and grape juice. Orange or pineapple juice can also be used.
I would not recomment it. Sherry is a fortified red wine. You can use vinegar or lemon juice in most recipes calling for white wine.
Apple cider vinegar is a vegan product as it uses no ingredients that originate with animals. However, when necessary, another vinegar such as rice vinegar could be used, as could any red wine or simple apple juice combined with a tablespoon or two of white vinegar.
You can use cider vinegar or rice vinegar and only the most discriminating palates will tell the difference.
