Can you substitute rice wine vinegar for rice wine?

Answer 1

Yes you may be able to use rice wine instead of dry sherry,most recipes when asking for dry sherry state either or can be used.

Answer 2

I doubt it. Sherry is not particularly sour and gives a special flavor when it is used.

Nothing tastes like sherry. Of course, you might like vinegar more than you like sherry

and there are excellent dishes that contain vinegar but not sherry,but I think you would be very lucky if you find that rice vinegar works well in dish that calls for sherry.

Answer 3

While they both are vinegar, they have very different flavors and it might have a big affect on the overall taste of the finished dish. White vinegar would be the best substitute. Even plain white wine vinegar would be closer.

Answer 4

Not really. Rice wine vinegar is vinegar (having gone through a process that converts ethanol [drinkable alcohol] into acetic acid, the primary ingredient in vinegars) whereas rice wine is still an alcoholic beverage.
