Can I Substitute Sherry for Sherry Vinegar?
I have an older recipe for a sherry mayonnaise that calls for Sherry Vinegar which I haven't been able to find in the store. I do have both sweet & dry sherry plus red wine & white wine vinegars. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup vinegar to make 2½ cups of mayo.

Not to worry, you CAN use the Sherry with some vinegar added for tang:
Measure out the 1/4 cup sherry, then discard 1 TBS (tablespoon) of Sherry and add 1 TBS red wine vinegar. That way, you'll have the tang of the vinegar and the flavor of the Sherry......BTW, upscale markets (think: Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Trader Joe's, Harvest Ranch Market etc.) carry Sherry vinegar......You might want to try Champagne vinegar next.....Quite tasty in a vinaigrette.....Enjoy!!

No, you require the vinegar to get the taste and texture you are trying to achieve. You can however use regular vinegar (1/4 cup) and Sherry Extract (2 dashes). It will not taste as good as the original recipe using Sherry Vinegar though!
Good luck!

No, you must have the vinegar component in this.
I suggest finding a different recipe and drink the Sherry you have on hand a la Graham Kerr.
