vinegar smell
Sharp acidic odor
The sharp, acidic odor characteristic of vinegar—sour and pungent, unmistakable once you know it.
The phrase often describes something that smells like vinegar but shouldn't: There's a vinegar smell coming from the drain.
The scent can signal fermentation, bacterial activity, or chemical reactions in contexts ranging from kitchens to medical symptoms.
