I travelled prior COVID. This Hong Kong restaurant served 糟溜鱼片. I am trying to reconstruct it at home. But my American town has no Asian stores, and nowhere sells the 3 Chinese wines listed below.

Undeniably, using 1 ingredient is simpler than 3 wines. Thus what SINGLE American alcoholic beverage can substitute these three Chinese wines?

http://www.misandao.net/1.%20Chinese%20Food/1.2%20Seafood/WB008.%20FishFilletInWineSauce.htm itemizes 3 Chinese wines:

米酒(rice cooking wine) 1大匙 (tbsp)
上海老大同香糟卤(rice wine sauce) 75ml
酒酿(sweet rice wine) 2大匙 (tbsp)

And this chef itemizes 3 Chinese wines too.

糟鹵 50克
花彫 50克
酒釀 15克

    Um ... if they couldn't substitute a single Chinese ingredient, why do you think it would be possible to substitute a single American one? Often to replace a missing ingredient, you need to combine two or more ingredients to get a similar flavor, acidity, sweetness, etc. – Joe Dec 26 '21 at 23:57

    Is "rice wine sauce" even an alcoholic beverage, rather than some type of thickened derivation of one? – nick012000 Dec 27 '21 at 05:12

I think dry sherry might work. Not certain.
