VINEGAR:THE SHARP WINE THAT ADDS ZEST TO EATING
Abstract
Vinegar, like wine, is one of the most ancient of natural fermentations known and used by mankind. The word itself derives from the French, vin, ‘wine’, aigre, ‘sharp, sour, tart’, so ‘sharp wine’ is an accurate description of this long‐valued liquid. As well as adding zest to food and aiding its preservation, as in pickling, vinegar has from the very earliest times been firmly believed to have strong medicinal value as well.
