My first batch of vinegar is done. It's delicious.
I have a habit of drinking half a glass of wine and then dumping the other half because I'm too lazy to get a funnel and pour it back into the bottle, so I decided to turn the half-glasses into wine vinegar. I used Bragg's cider vinegar with the mother as a base in a largish crock and started with a half bottle of red. I kept dumping in my half-glasses (both red and white, though you're evidently not supposed to mix them) for a month. I haven't touched it for the last few weeks. I tasted it yesterday and presto, it was delicious vinegar. I used some in a dijon vinaigrette. Some I bottled with mixed herbs from the garden and some I bottled with a bunch of frozen raspberries.
fun, thrifty and so much better than any wine vinegar I've ever bought.

3. mostly of the inexpensive but drinkable variety with a few half glasses of the good stuff.
Ripple, I bet.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a smaller glass, and buy vinegar at the store?
Life can be tough when you're unemployed, so I'm just trying to save cali some scratch.

That wine she is drinking is probably cheaper than vinegar in the first place, and probably tastes better after mixing with vinegar.
<<Has drunk very cheap wine a long time ago.

Considering her oxycontin habit, more than a half glass might be dangerous.

I've never really been a wine drinker. I've sometimes drank homemade wine (not made by me), but other than that, the only wine I've ever drank has been on vacation.
Back in the middle of January I was going to do some cooking that required red wine. I had always heard that the alcohol cooked out so I figured it really didn't matter what wine it was. I got the cheapest wine that Walmart had. When I was asked what I was going to do with the wine I said that I was going to cook with it. When I was told that cooking would only use a fraction of the bottle I just shrugged my shoulders and said I'd drink the rest. I tried to drink it. Apparently the first of January was NOT a good week. I've drank straight rotgut whiskey that was smoother than that wine.

I could never understand the appeal of having wine with supper, although it's obvious many primitives do.
Out here in real America, only the pretentious, putting on airs, suck up wine with supper.
No matter how one has it, wine just doesn't seem that great.
During my heaviest drinking days, back when I was in my early 20s, I did have a preference for St.-Louis-Beajolais, a bitter red wine that tastes like the blood of one's enemies.
But it wasn't that I liked it; it was just that I wanted to get drunk.

Back when I was in my early 20s I had a friend who swore by some off-name beer. I can’t for the life of me remember what the brand is. I know I haven’t seen it around in years. It tasted like you mixed a high quinine content tonic water with magnesium citrate and castor oil.
Someone asked me once if it was any good. I told him that after the sixth one it wasn’t too bad.
These days I rarely drink anything alcoholic. The wine was the first alcohol that I had drank in probably a year. I figure when I'm in a fictional spirit-guiding session with a DUmmie at least one of us needs to be sober.

Gotta agree with JR here . . .

Apparently, you got your hands on a DUmmie whine. :puke:

Oh, I like wine with dinner, and I'm not a pretentious snob.
Why doesn't Cali just pour a half a glass in the first place, not a full one, dumping out half? Vinegar is about $1/bottle.
