Holmes would never really indulge in alcohol. There are times where he would have a small pint of ale, but mostly would never finish it such as "The Case of the Blue Carbuncle." Watson however, was a fan of whiskey and Soda, and brandy.------
Holmes enjoyed port in 'The Gloria Scott,' 'The Sign of Four,' 'The Adventure of the Creeping Man'
Watson's wife offered to serve wine in 'The Man With the Twisted Lip,' and Watson accepted an offer of wine in 'The Hound of the Baskervilles.' Holmes and Watson enjoy a glass of wine in 'The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place' and 'His Last Bow.'

Sherry, Port, Marsala or Brandy
You could substitute rice vinegar for cooking sherry. Rice vinegar has a mild, sweet flavor.
Not really, try sweet sherry, madeira or even sake
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.
