white wine vinegar

Light acidic seasoning

White wine vinegar is vinegar made from white wine, lighter and milder than red wine vinegar.

It's a staple in French cooking, used for vinaigrettes, béarnaise sauce, and deglazing pans.

The flavor is clean and slightly fruity without the sharpness of distilled vinegar: The recipe calls for two tablespoons of white wine vinegar.
