What is red wine vinegar?
Red wine vinegar is made from red wine and is the most commonly used vinegar in the Mediterranean and Central Europe. As with wine, there is a considerable range in quality.
Better quality wine vinegars are matured in wood for up to two years and exhibit a complex, mellow flavor.
Wine vinegar tends to have a lower acidity than that of white or cider vinegars. There are more expensive wine vinegars that are made from individual varieties of wine, such as Champagne, Sherry, or pinot grigio.
