You'll get a slightly different taste, which is probably what you're using the sherry for. If you're substituting for sweet sherry it'll be less different than for dry sherry. I would say port is a more full-bodied taste than sherry.

∙ 10y agoIf it is a proper Portuguese port (these are lighter bodied than new world equivalents) then I suppose you could. It won't be a perfect match but it'll do in cooking.

Can I Substitute white wine for red wine?
The rule of thumb never applies, it all depends on pairing of foods. AKA will you be having tapas or appetizers before hand. You know your own body, and you decide which wines will pair with certain foods, and another point to look at, just because you start with white then move to red, you may forget that port wine, or dessert wine you may have at the end may be a red or a white! Great question! You always want to serve the lightest wine first. White first, then Red Wine. I don't know if there is scientific proof for this, but some swear by this rule ( I am one of them) It can make your stomach unsettled at times if not followed.

Cooking substitute for port?
Port is a Spanish /Portuguese wine That is much sweeter than most other red wines. For this reason Port can enpart a "sweetness" to a dish that a red table wine cannot. Port "reductions" are found in a lot of dessert applications... I would say an adequate substitute for port used for cooking would be adding sugar to any dark red table wine (cabernet savignon, shiraz, chianti, merlot, etc.)... 1 cup Port = 1 cup red table wine(+2 Tbsp sugar)...
Can you leave out red wine in a recipe?
