Gregory Chandler on Vinegar

Vinegar has multiple uses, from food to use as a cleaner.  When you choose the right vinegar for your cooking, it can add a tangy flavor to a salad, tenderize meat, or pickle and preserve foods. 

The word vinegar comes from an old French word vinaigre, which means sour wine.  Vinegar is made by fermenting ethanol to acetic acid. 

Many recipes call for specific types of vinegar that are readily available.  The most common vinegars include apple cider, balsamic, champagne, malt, red wine, white, and white wine.
