Acetic acid (CH3COOH), water, and trace amounts of additional chemicals, such as flavourings, make up vinegar. The amount of acetic acid differs in the solution.
Acetic acid makes up 5-8 percent of distilled vinegar. Spirit of vinegar is a stronger vinegar with 5-20 percent acetic acid content.
Sweeteners, such as sugar or fruit juices, may be used as flavourings. Herb, spice, and other flavour infusions can also be added.
Vinegar can be created from a variety of ingredients. Each flavour provides its distinct flavour profile to the finished product.
Sugar cane juice, rice and other grains, grapes (balsamic vinegar), coconut water, fruit wines, kombucha, and apple cider can all be used to make vinegar.
