The longer the wine vinegar matures, the better it is. Most red wines can be matured up to two years. Red Wine Vinegar is used to deglaze saucepans for quick sauces for beef or pork and is an essential ingredient in braised red cabbage. It is excellent for preserving in pickles, relishes and chutneys.

Some consider Sherry Vinegar their "desert island" vinegar. It falls between red and white wine vinegar, without the sweetness and intensity of balsamic. The time honoured, complex aging process includes aging in oak barrels. Sherry Vinegar is a crystalline amber colour, with good acidity and exotic sherry notes of roasted nut, wood, and vanilla. Combined with Spanish extra virgin olive oil, it makes an amazing vinaigrette! Enhance the flavor of soups, stews and casseroles. A little goes a long way.
