In a pinch you can usually make this substitution in a recipe while only slightly negatively impacting the quality of the dish. It's better than leaving the sherry out altogether. Things labeled "cooking wine" are generally the lowest quality sherry with some salt and possibly other seasonings added. So you may want to adjust the salt called for in the recipe to account for the fact that you're adding salt with the cooking wine. Real dry sherry is generally quite inexpensive and might even be cheaper ounce for ounce than supermarket cooking wine. So why not have some on hand?

Yes it is similar, and should produce a nice result. It's not the same though... You could also try white wine.A lot would also depend on the meat you are using. You could use Calvados for pork, or brandy for beef. I do not believe Vermouth , which is matured through herbs is in any way the same as sherry, you would definitely be better off with white wine.
