what you should know
Red and white wine vinegars, while often good, tend to taste like a
single
note. Champagne vinegar, more aromatic and complex, tastes like a chord being played in your mouth.
The word vinegar comes from the French phrase
"vin aigre," which means sour wine. Wine and
Champagne vinegars are formed by the fermentation of their alcohol into acetic acid.
so bad it's good Does that just mean that vinegar is
wine gone bad? Yep, that's pretty
much what it means. Except that the process is controlled to make its "gone bad" taste good.
champagne for one Champagne vinegar is an obvious choice for French-leaning
vinaigrettes.
But it's also flavorful enough to use by itself for drizzling over hot, roasted
potatoes, a creamy soup or a composed salad.
fan dom One of the greatest quotes ever -- Ever? Yes,
ever!
-- is attributed to the Benedictine monk Dom Pérignon, who, upon tasting Champagne for the first time, supposedly yelled: "Come quickly, brothers,
I am
drinking the
stars!"
