What's our Secret to Great Vinegar?

A Revived Process From the 1800s

Modern vinegars have lost their way, so we stepped back in time to recreate a process from 1823.

Our equipment doesn’t exist anymore so we remade it in partnership with local universities.

After slow fermentation, our vinegars are barrel aged before being hand bottled raw and unfiltered.

Only Quality Ingredients

We only use quality American beers, wines, ciders, and sakes as our alcohol base to ferment our vinegars at our vinegar works in New England.

Why? Because the taste of the underlying alcohol used directly impacts the flavor of the vinegar. 

Dedicated Vinegar Makers

We are American Vinegar Works, a small business focused on making great American vinegars.

Take a listen to our wonderfully sour story.

Essential Kitchen Vinegars Four Pack

$52.00

Your everyday “do-it-all” vinegar toolkit

Four small-batch classics, one handsome box, endless weeknight wins. The Essential Kitchen Vinegars Four Pack upgrades the staples you see on every recipe card—red, white, cider, and rice—each slow-fermented, barrel-aged, and hand-bottled for clean flavor and graceful acidity. A custom box and recipe card are included, making it gift-ready for both new cooks and seasoned users. 

What’s inside (8.5oz bottles)

Better Than Champagne Chardonnay Wine Vinegar — bright, delicate, slightly nutty; perfect for vinaigrettes, beurre blanc, and mignonette.
Ultimate Red Wine Vinegar — rich, meaty, and sharp with savory length; built for marinades, Greek salads, sauerbraten, and even gin cocktails.
19.53 Miles From The Tree Apple Cider Vinegar — tangy with a hint of sweetness and natural caramel color; great for dressings, warm grains, roasted roots, shrubs, and cocktails.
California Junmai Rice Wine Vinegar — rich, round, and bolder than most rice vinegars; ideal for cucumber salads, sushi rice, seafood, soups, and delicate sauces. 

Why does this set earn counter space?

It replaces harsh, generic vinegar with bottles that actually make food taste composed. Each vinegar is slow-fermented with a process revived from the 1800s, aged in oak, and hand-bottled for clarity and balance. Translation: vinaigrettes are silkier, marinades season without shouting, and pan sauces snap into focus. 

How to use it (fast, reliable moves)

Weeknight vinaigrette: 1 part Chardonnay or Red Wine Vinegar to 2–3 parts olive oil with salt and a pinch of mustard.
Tenderize and season: Splash Ultimate Red Wine Vinegar into steak or mushroom marinades.
Warm grains & roots: Fold ACV into farro or roasted carrots with herbs and nuts.
Sushi-adjacent salads: Use California Junmai Rice Wine Vinegar to gloss cucumbers or season warm rice.

Love this stuff!!

Wasnt sure if it was hype, but took a chance and bought a four pack. Only tried the Red wine so far, but without asking, everybody at dinner commented on how great the dressing was. usually I put too much or too little vinegar, with this was able to get great flavor without too much bitterness. Will buy again.

The Best!

I use vinegar frequently when cooking and salad dressings / vinaigrettes. I ordered these because I was intrigued by the German method used to make them.

They are by far the best vinegars I've ever used or tasted! Will be a regular customer. 🙂
