Buy French Champagne Vinegar - 33.8oz - (Pack of 3) Now
The French Champagne vinegar tasted so much better in vinaigrettes than my normal vinegar that I wanted to know why, so I read a few articles. It's smoother, with less bite, and has a tastier citrus flavor than normal vinegar.Apparently 50% of vinegar used in the US is distilled vinegar made from corn. Wine vinegar, on the other hand, is made from grapes. Distilled vinegar is about 5 7% acidity, and wine vinegar from France is regulated at 6%. While wine vinegar is aged (Beafor in oak barrels), I don't think distilled vinegar is aged (or perhaps it is in steel vats).
I think that's what makes the French Champagne vinegar taste better. Beaufor also makes a White Wine (Blanc) vinegar that tastes pretty close, and Vilux brand makes a Champagne vinegar that is less expensive and tasty.
I think anything more than six bucks a bottle (500 ml for the Beaufor and 750 ml for the Vilux) is a bit steep. If you use a lot of vinegar, do a Google search for "Beaufor Champagne vinegar 5 liters" and you can find very large jugs for cheap.
