Top quality shaoxing wineI noticed a comment below treating Shaoxing wine like mirin or light rice wine, so I’d like to clarify: Shaoxing wine is widely used in Taiwan for cooking heavier, savoury dishes like braising and stewing. It has a strong, rich flavour, and the alcohol is usually cooked off during preparation, leaving a deep, fragrant aroma. It also helps remove strong odours.

Mirin, on the other hand, is a sweet Japanese rice wine with low alcohol, mainly used to add sweetness and shine to lighter dishes.

So using Shaoxing wine the same way as mirin will result in a much stronger, less sweet flavour - it’s just a different cooking ingredient. They serve different purposes in cooking, so it’s important to use each accordingly!

I love it but when it will be backWe love using this one to cook with Chinese food and it makes the food taste good. But it’s sad that I haven’t been seen it for a long time. I hope it will be back soon.

Best I’ve ever used.Fantastic flavour. I cook homemade broths and this brand gives that unmistakeable Asian flavour and depth. It is also an excellent addition to a marinade or sauce. Might appear to be a pricier option to buy. But, the bottle is large so it lasts a long time; the flavour is excellent so you won’t need much at a time. As long as Sainsbury’s keep stocking it, I’ll keep buying it.

Good for Oriental cookingUsed in soy braised pork last night and my guests were impressed with the aroma when it was added to the pot. Great to have found it in Sainsbury’s.

Best shaohsing / shaoxing wine on the marketI use the wine in my cooking a lot , mostly for oriental dishes. The aroma is superb and brings so much flavour to the dish. I personally much prefer the Taiwanese brand than the Chinese ones, no food safety to worry about. Maybe a bit more pricey than others, but a little goes a long way.

Great Taiwanese cooking wineCan’t believe I can find this Taiwanese rice wine. It’s not the same as other light rice wine. This one is more stronger.

Strange aftertasteI cook a lot of oriental food but I would never profess to be an 'expert'. I usually use mirin or a lighter rice wine for things like teryaki. I used this and entire household said it ruined the fish. A very strong unpleasant aftertaste. I'm not sure I would enjoy it in any other dish to be honest as it's a very strong and overpowering flavour (and I use fish sauce!). I poured down the sink (expensive mistake) so I wouldn't be tempted to use it again. Go back to mirin and sake I think.
