Red wine vinegar is really easy to make at home. All you need is some leftover red wine, some water, red wine vinegar mother, and a few tools. You can look for red wine vinegar at your local homebrewing shop, but mine was out, so I ordered it online. It’s basically “live” red wine vinegar which contains the bacteria Acetobacter, which eats alcohol and turns it into acetic acid, the tangy flavor we know as vinegar.

alcohol boils at 170 DEGF, water boils at 212, but other fluids boil at cooler temperatures
My brother was making red wine , when he thought it was done and asked me to try it pouring me a glass, I smelled it and I said this smells like vinegar, turns out he let it go too long and it turned into red wine vinegar. Just fantastic though . Unbelievable flavor.
haha what happens if i drink the mother XD
if you want the 1-dimensional store bought vinegar that would be the best way to go
or the aged Balsamic Vinegar, which will definitely be much too hard to try and produce at home even for the die hard DIYers.
Will $2 red wines make decent quality red wine vinegar? I am planning to experiment with this and was told that Merlots, and Cabernet Sauvignon (especially if they are young) can be transformed into good red wine vinegar.
Also how much wine is consumed or lost during the process? I assume that if I start out with 1 gal of red wine, I am not going to end up with 1 gal of vinegar.
in my case we (my father and me) make vinegar with a wine that tastes bad a little to vinegar, we left the bottle an.. in some time turns into vinegar.. so.. with that bottle make vinegar just a little of the mother in a 5litre bottle ( sorry for my bad english)
Rats, was hoping to use what’s in my pantry to start my own. Guess it’s off to the local brew supplier for me. Thanks for the response and the video.
No, as it’s already been pasteurized to kill the live culture.
Next tutorial should be how to make vinegar mother, in case I left it in my other coat when I want to make vinegar
Can you use a vinegar that is already produced commercially as the starter instead of the mother vinegar?
LMAO, you made me laugh!thank you for that, sir!

ever have a bottle of wine that you didn’t finish and now it is starting to taste bad? Most people pour it down the sink. This is how to make use of it.
