I have all of these except for shaoxing wine... My white whale. I've been looking in every local asian food store for it but I can't find it anywhere!!! Is it like an actual wine, or specifically a cooking thing? Alcohol laws are fairly strict here so they might not be allowed to sell it in regular stores...
It does have alcohol, i think like 11% or something so it could be alcohol laws. Funnily enough we also have strict alcohol sale laws but its always available in every asian grocer, but never in the main supermarkets.
Look for Liao Jiu, the proper name for cooking wine.
Shaoxing wine technically just refers to any wine from Shaoxing, including those for drinking. It caught on as the western name as it the main wine imported.
It's rice wine but the stuff you use for cooking is often flavored and not great for drinking.
Other rice wines are a decent sub. Shaoxing arbitrarily contains wheat due to traditions that has very little effect on the end product, which became an issue when I started cooking for a celiac.
