What it is

Red wine vinegar is a type of vinegar made from red wine. It is produced through a fermentation process where alcohol in the red wine is converted into acetic acid by specific bacteria.

Why it's used

Red wine vinegar is used as a flavoring agent and preservative in various foods. Its tart and slightly fruity taste makes it a popular ingredient in salad dressings, marinades, sauces, and for pickling vegetables.

Health notes

Red wine vinegar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Some research suggests potential benefits from compounds found in red wine, but these have not been definitively linked to vinegar consumption at typical intake levels. JECFA has evaluated vinegar and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).

Allergen info

Red wine vinegar is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
