Yes it is like switching form Cabernet to Pinot Noir
It depends on the recipe. If it calls for a white wine, then no, but if it calls for a red wine, then yes.
Burgundy is a region in France that produces both red and white. Commonly when someone says "Burgundy" they are referring to the red wine made with Pinot Noir grapes. That would be a good red-wine substitute if you can't find Burgundy at your store; try to pick up a California or Oregon pinot noir instead. They also make white wine in the Burgundy region; primarily it is made with Chardonnay grapes. Thus, if you have to find a substitute for white Burgundy, then get some Chardonnay. A good rule of thumb to remember when cooking with wine: If you wouldn't want to drink it, then don't cook with it. Buy something decent, not something cheap.
Not in the same measure. Recipes calling for a cup of burgundy are not uncommon, whereas most recipes using Marsala will call for two to three ounces at most. Marsala has a much more distinctive taste than burgundy, and hence should be used more judiciously
No. Port is a 'fortified' wine, with much more alcohol and much stronger aromatic flavouring than either burgundy or any other conventional wine. Do not substitute either port or sherry for conventional wine in any recipe.
Yes
Zinfandel can be substituted for Merlot in either cooking or drinking, although zinfandel has a uniquely discernible taste. There are a number of other red wines that more closely approximate Merlot.
Any red wine can be substituted for Burgundy when creating a sauce or making a casserole such a Coq au Vin. Cheap Roses are excellent for adding a fruity panache to such dishes and easy on the budget.
Cabernet is a red wine by definition, while burgundy may be red or white, and may not be red, so substitution is not recommended.
It is best to use a regular burgandy (not a cooking wine) in cooking. Cooking wines often contain salt and can change the flavor of the dish. I'd choose a moderately priced wine intended for drinking.
Yes but you will change the outcome
No, Shiraz is a red wine, and you should not refrigerate any red wine.
There are about 100 calories in a standard five ounce serving of Shiraz wine.
"Burgundy" is a deep-red colour, similar to burgundy wine.
