radars1, although not needing to know right know for my own needs I googled for an answer to your question and found that suggested substitutes are very sweet wine, port or sherry as advised at:-

After losing our bottle of Marsala to the lounge carpet during the earthquake I thought this info' just might come in handy when I would otherwise have gone to the liquor cabinet for the near new bottle of Marsala!

Hope that helps.:-))

Edited to add that our now smashed bottle was purchased from the Mediterranean Food Warehouse here in Christchurch so do you have anything similar in Whakatane?:-))

Hi 245sam, thanks very much for that, going to use dry sherry and look out for marsala wine when next out of town. one place said they were asked for it alot, i did think maybe they could stock it since there is a demand. Hope you weren't hit too badly in the quake. some looks quite devastating.
