Wine vinegar

Used in 11 recipes on RecipeWiki.

Wine vinegar is wine fermented further until its alcohol becomes acetic acid. This page covers white wine vinegar, red wine vinegar and the cider vinegar some recipes allow. White wine vinegar is clean and sharp, and pale enough to use in Mayonnaise, in the water for Poached Eggs, and in the meringue for Pavlova, where it helps stabilise the whites. Red wine vinegar is fruitier and more robust, good in Everyday Vinaigrette and Salted Tomato Salad, and in the brine for Quick Pickled Red Onions. It is also used in the marinade for Shashlik. Kept sealed in a cool cupboard, vinegar lasts almost indefinitely.
