White Wine Vinegar

White wine vinegar tends to be lighter than others, due to its subtle, delicate, slightly fruity flavor. Its clear color makes it another good option for balancing out the flavors in many dishes. It can be used to brine or pickle vegetables, to make homemade hollandaise or béarnaise sauce, as an ingredient in light and tangy vinaigrettes and as a brightening agent in recipes like coleslaw or potato salad. You could also add it to braising recipes, which helps tenderize meat.
