Where do I purchase Shaoxing wine for chinese recipes?

Any Asian store will have them. If you happen to live somewhere without one just use cheap brandy, it works.Where do I purchase Shaoxing wine for chinese recipes?
PhatCat is right as they have a 5% salt content, to keep the winos from drinking it, they are not regulated like other wines and spirits.



Here In Canada I buy mine in th Chinatown area or the Large Asain Grocery store we have heard, (at least 12), it is not expensive but do compensated for the salt if you using it for marinating and just a hint in cooking is enough, not to much it is powerful stuff. It runs 9-14 % alcohol depending on the brand.
