What would be a good substitute for rice wine?

I like to prepare various Asian dishes and one of the important ingredients I use is rice wine; unfortunately, it's become difficult to obtain lately, and sherry, which is sometimes used, never was a beverage available in my country.
So, what else could I substitute for rice wine?
Best Answer
If you can get it, sherry is usually a good bet but since you can't, I've used just regular white wine before as a substitute when you're cooking a dish but you just need to be a little less liberal as you might be with rice wine as I find the flavour tends to be a little stronger.
Another alternative is Sake, but I'm assuming that if you can't get rice wine, you'll struggle to find Sake.

White vermouth works well, and it will keep a long time, particularly if you refrigerate it
Answer 3
I've heard that gin is one the closest substitutes in terms of flavor and that regular white wine works as well in a pinch. I haven't had to do this much myself so I'm not sure what kind of ratio you should go with in these substitutions.
Answer 4
Gin.... Gin...... Gin. Works great.
