Vinegar is an acidic liquid made by fermenting a plant-matter. Mostly sourced from fruit-juice like apple-cider, wine or grains like rice.

If the Vinegar is vegan, would depend on how it was processed. There is chance it was filtered with an animal by-product.

When made from wine or beer that have already been fined by isinglass or gelatin, such vinegar is non-vegan since an animal was exploited in the process.

Not very common is vinegar that contains honey, which will usually be stated on the label.

Uses

A Vinaigrette is a dressing that uses oil and something sour, like vinegar or lemon-juice.
