Default Dry sherry versus "cooking wine (sherry) "

Aieee! Cooking wine is dregs from the bottom of a barrel of wine no one
would drink with lots of salt added. Do not cook with (or drink!) "cooking
wine". The rule is very basic: don't cook with wine you wouldn't drink.
Sherry isn't the same as some generic "cooking wine", either. If you don't
drink wine, fine. You don't have to drink wine to cook with it. But ask
someone at the store about an inexpensive wine that isn't "cooking wine";
drinkable wine. They'll recommend something that isn't "cooking wine".
