Wine Vinegar

Wine vinegar is fermented from actual wine, which is why it carries grape character the way distilled vinegar never can. This collection covers the reds, the whites and the ones in between, all slow-fermented and aged in oak.

Red, white or something else

How to use wine vinegar

The rule of thumb is to match weight. Heavy dish, red wine vinegar. Delicate dish, white. Then use it in one of three places: in a vinaigrette, in the pan to deglaze after searing, or off the heat at the end to lift a finished dish. Why wine vinegar adds complexity covers the reasoning, and beurre blanc and classic mignonette are the two recipes that show off a good white.

Common questions

  • Is champagne vinegar different? Champagne vinegar is white wine vinegar from a specific grape. Our chardonnay-based one does the same job with more body.
  • Can I use wine vinegar for pickling? Yes, and it makes a better pickle than distilled vinegar, though it costs more. For heavy preserving, distilled is the economical choice.
  • Are wine vinegars gluten free? Yes.

So delicious!

We have used this on several dishes for a little flavor and I'm planning to do fried fish and fries this weekend with this as a highlight!

I love vinegar and your regular cider vinegar, malted beer vinegar, cider vinegar w/ blueberry and cider vinegar w/ cranberry is awesome and will be a repeat customer for life.

Great vinegar

The best vinegars I have ever tasted. The apple cider vinegar is real, not apple cider flavored vinegar like most. It is made with real apples, and you can taste the difference. Fantastic used making hot bacon dressing for wilted salads.
I highly recommend.

I’ve been using these vinegars for three years and I would use nothing else! The red wine vinegar

I’ve been using these vinegars for three years and I would use nothing else! The red wine vinegar is my go to. I am currently enjoying the Honey Wine Vinegar, Rice Wine Vinegar, Chardonnay Wine Vinegar. The quality is exceptional !

Trust the Freebie

The free bonus bottle of hot vinegar is not something I would have ordered, but I love it—so good on garden-ripened tomatoes! Ordering was easy, delivery prompt, all contents in good condition. The vinegar has a depth and richness that grocery store vinegar just doesn’t have.

Superior quality, tasty and smooth

Did a taste test with your apple vinegar and the major national brand we use. First diluted in water then straight. In both concentrations your product wins hands down. Smoother and tastier. The choking, why'd-I-do-that response with the straight vinegar was almost worth it.

Good vinegar, and samplers are fun and practical

American Vinegar Works makes delicious vinegars. I don't like them all equally, but that's what makes the sampler packs great. I chose what I wanted to try. I highly recommend the miles from the tree cider vinegar! I also like that I can buy a small bottle when I only want a little of something specialized for a recipe. It makes a good reason to try some more kinds!
