I would say yes for most recipes.
Use a richer full bodied red wine. If you are using the wine in a sweet dish (eg Pears poached in wine) you may need to add something to make up fro the lower sugar in the the red wine, sugar or perhaps a spoonful of honey.
For what? If you are cooking something sure but the outcome will be very different.
It can be for cooking, but not for drinking, because it contains salt.
You probably can, but keep in mind that port is much sweeter than red wine.
No. Merlot is a dry red that runs between 12%-14% alcohol. Port is a sweet wine that's about 20% alcohol.
you can and cant
Yes. I just made a stir fry that said to use red wine or vegetable oil and I used champagne, so why can't you use red wine instead of white?
It will change the taste.
No, because moscato is a sweet white wine, and marsala is a dry red wine.
NNOOO! way do not do that unless you are an idiot
You can but it is stronger in flavour so don't use as much.
i would say no, because red wine could be dry or sweet and sherry would not have the body to create a sauce if this is what it is intended for.
Another dry red wine.Another Answer:A semi-sweet rose'.
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.
The part of speech depends on the use of the word in context. If the use is "Port wine", the word is used to describe the noun "wine" and therefore is an adjective. If the word is used as a noun e.g., "...a glass of Port", it is a noun.
