I have a Chinese cooking wine called YuYee, which I assume comes from another area. It is clear and mild, slightly sweet. The photo of the Shaoxing Wine shows it as having the deepest color of all of them, almost orange.
I also use dry or sweet vermouth as a substitute. The rice wines are usually used in sauces where there are strong flavored ingredients, so I think you can get away with substitutions.
