Is Sherry Vinegar the Same As Sherry Cooking Wine?

Cooking sherry is used to create a myriad of dishes and can easily be substituted for another dry red or white wine. Sherry vinegar is most similar to balsamic vinegar and is used to dress salads and add flavor to sauces. Though they are quite different, a dry white or red wine, as well as Madeira or Port, can also be substituted for sherry vinegar in a recipe.
