Their color ranges from clear to dark. Some are red and others yellow. Some are gluten-free, while others are not.The source of the vinegar production produces vinegars in a wide range of flavor, aroma and acidity. The type of vinegar determines what its best use is. This, along with aging length, can also determine the cost of the vinegar.
