Asda sell Marsala, or do you have a local Italian deli? There are different qualities, just as with any wine. The guy at my deli always asks if it is for drinking or cooking! I have never tried Madeira, so can't comment on that, sorry.

Masala is a rich syrupy golden colour and Madeira is red.

Madeira reminds me of a very sweet port and Masala reminds me of a very sweet dessert wine.

Masala wine is not with the ordinary wine in a supermarket but within the "fortified wine" section. Are you looking in the right place? I always thought Masala was Italian and Maderia from Portugal. Cheeky

Waitrose sell it too - I think the brand is Pellegrino. It's normally near the sherry etc.

I am finding it difficult to understnad why it is such a problem to find Marsala. Here in Malta it is so popular and could be found in your local grocer near the wines or in a liquor store near the wine and Sherry. I use it all the time with pork, chicken and tomaot sauces.

I have bought it in Sainsbury's and Waitrose.Waitrose also sells the dry as well as sweet but I found it under specialist shelf and not with the sherry's ect.Waitrose has a good choice from £9-£16 approx.
