I knew i'd get  some expert advise...so what do i buy correctly?

It's also difficult, nay, impossible for me to find in my township. There are a couple of large Asian supermarkets in an adjacent town. I went once and asked for it. The staff is not too fluent in English and I knew that so wrote the name on a piece of paper (because perhaps my poor pronuncitation was a big part of the problem,) a staff memeber passed it to another, they both had a laugh and handed the paper back to me. In B.C. the only "wines" available in grocery stores are heavily salted to discourage drinking. (Is that a problem in Asian countries?) I then went to our government liquor store who has a huge assortment of various types of sake and Korean fortified wines but apparently no shaoxing wine. 

ETA - we have recently been able to buy BC wines in selected grocery stores - nothing imported from other provinces or countries.
