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.

∙ 13y agoIn California there are no laws that regulate which grape varietal can be made into "burgundy". Californian "burgundy" is typically red. In France, however, Burgundy is a region. Wines that come from this region and are labeled as "Burgundy" are Pinot Noir (red) and Chardonnay (white).
Burgundy lacks the diversity of wines that are available from throughout the world.

What can you substitute for burgundy wine?
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.
