No. A "Rhine wine" is a marketing term for a US wine modelled after the sweeter style wines of Germany (riesling, liebfraumilch). If you want to go with an inexpensive box/jug wine, try a "chablis" or "refreshing white."
Can be both dry and slightly sweet.
You can use equal parts dry sherry/pale sherry wine; not the cooking wine... the drinking wine. :)

== == Salut! == == The "classic" dry red wines (and among the most easily found) are Cabernet and Merlot.Yes, a wine is considered "dry" when it is not sweet. The dryer the wine is, the less sweet it is. Cabernet Sauvignon is a dry red wine.
Cooking wine is highly seasoned. It's better to avoid cooking wine. However, you don't need to buy an expensive wine to cook with. Pick up a moderately price dry white or dry red wine that you can also drink with the meal!
White cooking wine is supposed to taste like a dry white wine, while a sauterne cooking wine will be much sweeter. Sauterne wines are dessert wines, so are very sweet; but add nice flavor to sauces for meats such as pork or chicken. I prefer to use real wine, not "cooking wine", and the commercial made cooking wines are full of preservatives and are usually sweeter than the real thing. Just remember to use a good wine, one you would drink, because when you cook with it, it will reduce and concentrate in flavor. If you start with a bad tasting wine, you'll just end up with a concentrated bad tasting wine.
Cooking sherry is low-quality sherry with salt added. There is no reason to buy cooking sherry. Purchase any inexpensive sherry and this will give you better control over the sodium content of your food. For a non alcoholic substitute try a mixture of vinegar, sugar and a dash of lemon juice OR a mixture of apple, cranberry and grape juice. Orange or pineapple juice can also be used.
No, White vinegar is plain Acetic acid in water, but either as a simple chemical mix (usually very cheap or cleaning grade vinegar) or through fermentation of distilled alcohol (akin to Vodka). White wine vinegar is made from the fermentation of real White wine. As such White vinegar has a simple acidic taste, whilst White Wine vinegar retains much of its original White wine taste, with its alcohol replaced by the Acetic acid of vinegar.
In cooking Apple juice or apple cider can fill the bill.
Dry wine has fewer calories than sweet wine.
Chianti is a dry red wine.
Dry wit, dry weather, and dry wine.
