Can you use Sherry instead of red wine?

Yes, you can use sherry instead of wine in cooking. Sherry is a fortified wine made from white grapes and is often used in Spanish and Portuguese cuisine. It is typically dry but can also be sweet. Sherry can add a nutty, caramelized flavor to dishes. When substituting sherry for red wine, you can use an equal amount. However, keep in mind that sherry has a higher alcohol content than red wine so it may be necessary to adjust the amount of liquid in the recipe.
