I can get a 25.5 ounce bottle of the red labeled, Chinese Shao Xing rice
wine for $1.50. square or round bottle, salt or no salt. Not that i
would, but i could, did so once, awful stuff, Sake is so much better for
cooking than the Shao Xing 'rice wine'.

I am very fond of equal parts, sake, soy sauce & sesame oil as a sauce,
marinade & etc.
