I often see recipes that call for champagne vinegar or sherry vinegar. I can't fine either in my local market. Can I substitute white wine vinegar and ed wine vinegar for these?
 
I could see subbing white wine vinegar for champagne vinegar but red for sherry is more of a stretch.

However, I'd guess that recipes would not be ruined or even lessened in quality by a substitution. What you are losing is the flavor the recipe creator was trying to achieve.
 
red wine vinegar would give you a completely different tasting dish from using sherry - but, that's not necessarily a bad thing. You might have to compensate with seasoning for the loss of that distinct flavor sherry (and marsala) have.
 
I wish sherry vinegar was more readily available. I get mine at Williams Sonoma.
 
:) I love sherry vinegar for cooking it is hard to find but you can get it online and usually at upper scale grocery stores.When you do find it stock up.Cheese, Specialty Food, Gourmet Gift Baskets, Cheese Gifts: igourmet
