Default ISO recommendation on shao xing wine

Hello!

I want to start using shao xing wine in my stir-fries. I have seen
one called "Golden Pagoda Brand" that sells at $6 for 750ml and says
"SHAO XING HUA TIAO" along the top of the label. Is this a good
brand? If not, what should I look for (I live in the northeast of the
US). In addition to brands, any other advice on buying shao xing wine
would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

The brand I like the best and which seems to be well respected (since there
are copy-cat versions of it) is "Pagoda Brand." There is a 10-year-aged
version of it out there too, comes in a box, so you may want to keep your
eye out for it.

I'm sure Golden Pagoda Brand is fine, though.

Personally, I look for drinkable rice wine, not "cooking" rice wine. I've
argued about it here with someone, don't remember who, but to me "cooking"
wine was invented for stores that don't have an alchohol license. It has
added salt, and I like to be in total control of how salt enters into a
dish. That said, cooking rice wine is fine too.
