Any red wine can be substituted for Burgundy when creating a sauce or making a casserole such a Coq au Vin. Cheap Roses are excellent for adding a fruity panache to such dishes and easy on the budget.
Yes
It is best to use a regular burgandy (not a cooking wine) in cooking. Cooking wines often contain salt and can change the flavor of the dish. I'd choose a moderately priced wine intended for drinking.
Cooking wine is usually of inferior quality.
French Burgundy is pinot noir if it's red, chardonnay if it's white. The subsection of Burgundy called Beaujolais is made from the gamay grape. You will also, rarely, find the white grape called alicante bouchet.

The best type of wine to use when making coq au vin is a dry red wine, such as a Burgundy or a Pinot Noir.
If the "cooking wine" is form a food supplier and states for cooking only then salt has been added to the wine so that it is not fit for drinking. If you have a recipe that calls for cooking wine then use what you have on hand. You can add salt to taste.
You can substitute rice cooking wine with dry sherry, white wine, or apple cider vinegar in your recipe.
You can use any wine you wish in the recipe. The wine substitute would yield a different flavor. The flavor may be more sour or sweet, depending on the tendencies of the wine.
Cooking wine is simply wine that also contains salt to discourage its use as a beverage. It was developed by temperance advocates.
Yes, any good quality white wine can be used instead of sherry.
You can use equal parts dry sherry/pale sherry wine; not the cooking wine... the drinking wine. :)
