Red wine vinegar

Red wine vinegar is wonderfully tangy and a favorite choice for salad dressings. As it's made from red wine, it obtains a fantastic fruity and mild flavor. When paired with a nice fatty olive oil, it becomes the perfect vinaigrette for salads and cold veggie dishes. It's also great for braising meats or drizzled over roasted veggies for a tart finish. You can even add a dash to creamy soups for a touch of acidity.
