Since time immemorial, pretty much any culture that developed any kind of wine acquired a taste for vinegar shortly thereafter. This is particularly true of the Mediterranean region, where grape-derived vinegars became a staple of cuisines across Egypt, Greece, and Rome thousands of years ago, and remain so to this day. With Trader Joe’s Organic Red Wine Vinegar, we proudly carry on this ancient culinary tradition with a tart, fruity vinegar from Italy, which our supplier makes from organic red wine, then brings to an acidity level of 5% — ideal for bringing out a bright, cheek-tickling sharpness to salad dressings, sauces, and dishes of all kinds. From the elegantly simple — like mixing with olive oil and herbs for a quick vinaigrette — to the daringly complex — like incorporating into a reduction to braise a tender lamb shank — this Organic Red Wine Vinegar is up to the task. Try adding it to marinades, where its nimble acidity will help tenderize the meat, mignonette sauces, where its tartness will wake up the natural flavors of shellfish, or gremolatas, where its fruity aroma will compliment the savory sensations of herbs and garlic.
