so /ck/, i need your help
i got ripped off a chinese shop (i think) and bought this cooking rice wine in a rush for my meme foods. Regardless of this situation, how can i know if this wine is actually good for cooking chinese food?. It has an alcoholic taste/ feel, and its close to what other rice wines taste like ( but i havent had a lot of them, just sake)
I used it for fried rice and it didnt taste bad.

I have a bottle of shitty ass chinese cooking wine like that. I use it for deglazing stir fry pans right when I add the vegetables after the meat is done. It's fine. Doesn't taste terrible. Doesn't taste as good as upstate riesling but it never goes bad and I'm never tempted to drink it so it's convenient
this is the only label it has (besides the price etiquette that i ripped off... btw it was 3 dollars). it also has "kwangtung miju" on the bottle seal at the top.

Yeah if someone can't speak perfect flawless English that means they're probably a criminal
>t. hispanick who used the word "etiquette" to refer to a price tag

3 dollars is not a rip off for a bottle of rice wine even though it's a knock off brand of "pearl river bridge".
Nonetheless it should definitely be safe to consume because chinese shops sell to chinese people who use that shit to cook chinese food so you're probably just retarded.

>golded bridge
god tier chinese rip-off name, nice
Usually "cooking wine" has a lot of salt in it, so it'd be basically undrinkable, but fine for, you know, cooking.
