Can you substitute white wine vinegar for white wine?
Q. I need a cup of white wine but all I have is white wine vinegar...I know that the vinegar is the same as the wine but after it becomes fermented. Can I substitute the white wine by using the white wine vinegar in a smaller dose?
Asked by Misty K - Sun Sep 27 19:07:24 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. NO. You could do it the other way around (white wine for vinegar) but you'll definitely get an acid flavor and if there's any dairy or eggs involved it could curdle. If you have any apple juice you could use that with about a T of the vinegar. Or you could use chicken broth. If you have vermouth or sherry around, you could use that. Many people don't like to cook with alcohol and substitute juice or broth with ok results.

What can I use as a substitute for white wine vinegar?
Q. I am making a cake and the recipe requires 1tsp of white wine vinegar but i don't want to buy a whole bottle when i only need such a small amount. Could i use half a tsp of white wine and half tsp of white vinegar?
Asked by Koko - Sun Aug 30 05:55:08 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Just use regular white vinegar. In a cake, and such a small amount, it is probably the chemical (acidic) properties of the vinegar that are needed, not the flavour. I doubt you would even taste a single teaspoon of vinegar in a whole cake.

Can I use Rice Wine Vinegar as a substitute for White wine Vinegar?
Q. I am marinating a pork loin with olive oil and I know white wine vinegar will help tenderize the meat, can I use rice wine instead?
Asked by eric - Fri Feb 5 15:42:15 2010 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yes you may use white rice wine vinegar. Rice wine vinegar IMHO is rather flat and uncomplex tasting. If you are making Mediterranean food I'd substitute squeezed lemon juice myself. (If it is Pork Tenderloin,I wouldn't marinate it too long as the meat is very tender to begin with.

Can I use White wine vinegar as a substitute of regular white wine?

Asked by Minh C - Sun Aug 23 11:33:58 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No, do not use vinegar instead of wine. Somebody else mentioned that you can buy cooking wine. That's true, but it is heavily salted so that it is no longer good for drinking. I refuse to use alcohol that is specifically for cooking, quality is never good. I suggest asking an adult to get the ingredients you need. I'm 36 now, but once upon a time my parents were happy to help me get beer and wine for cooking.

A. in that recipe your dry white cooking wine would be a great substitute...you are trying to balance the acid of the lemon juice with the vinegar,and the white wine will accomplish the very same goal for you, use a third cup though...that should work well.

White balsamic vinegar vs white wine vinegar?
Q. I'm looking at making dinner this Friday for some friends. One recipe - peach-glazed pork chops - calls for white wine vinegar. The salad - Strawberry-Kiwi Salad with Basil - calls for white balsamic vinegar. Can I substitute one for the other, or are they so wildly different that they won't work in each others' recipes?
Asked by i7nvd - Sun Jun 22 14:17:39 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. get both if you wish to achieve the flavor the inventor of the recipes had in mind. the sweetness of the peach would not be brought out by another sweet taste. you need the acidity to do that. raspberries can be tart and you'll need the basamic to help balance out the flavors.

Can white wine vinegar be used to remove smells?
Q. Distilled white vinegar is not available where I live (Greece), though I can easily get hold of various wine vinegars. Most people have told me that white vinegar can be used to remove smells - e.g. by putting some in a bowl in your room, but I would like to know if white wine vinegar can be used as a substitute. It seems to me that white wine vinegar leaves a strong smell of vinegar in the room for a long time afterwards. Would the same thing happen with ordinary white vinegar - or perhaps it is so pure that the strong vinegar smell would evaporate and disappear pretty quickly?
Asked by pierrot - Sun Jan 24 05:31:46 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. White vinegar and white wine vinegar can be used to wash objects that have acquired an odor, including especially porous objects. Any vinegar will do the deodorizing job, but red and other colored vinegars usually stain the objects as they deodorize them. Vinegar is not potpourri, however, and doesn't remove odors from air or other gases. If you want to remove odors from air, burn something. Candles are traditional. Just don't leave the candles unattended, or the smell you end up with is going to be heart-breaking. If not deadly.

Can I Substitute Sherry for Sherry Vinegar?
Q. I have an older recipe for a sherry mayonnaise that calls for Sherry Vinegar which I haven't been able to find in the store. I do have both sweet & dry sherry plus red wine & white wine vinegars. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup vinegar to make 2 cups of mayo.

A. Not to worry, you CAN use the Sherry with some vinegar added for tang: Measure out the 1/4 cup sherry, then discard 1 TBS (tablespoon) of Sherry and add 1 TBS red wine vinegar. That way, you'll have the tang of the vinegar and the flavor of the Sherry...BTW, upscale markets (think: Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Trader Joe's, Harvest Ranch Market etc.) carry Sherry vinegar...You might want to try Champagne vinegar next...Quite tasty in a vinaigrette...Enjoy!!

A. If you have neither, you can substitute apple juice. If you don't have that, you could dilute a small amount of lemon juice with water and use that. They obviously want a small amount of acid, which the vinegar provides, but without the vinegar flavor.

A. Absolutely. You can substitute sour cream. German potato salad has no mayonnaise. Many people don't like it. Your recipe is simple and perfect, It's going to be great! You could use yoghurt too, my sister-in-law uses ranch dressing, the buttermilk kind. Maybe use less vinegar because these are all "sour". Taste first and add more later if you like. I like dill pickles but my friends like sweet, celery or celery seeds, garlic, some like finely chopped green pepper or pimento. I say keep it simple. But the red and green add color.

A. Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Hope it's not too late. Grape juice is the first choice - purple not white. Next choice would be prune juice but you know what that might do besides taste really good. Unless you are an alcoholic, which I am assuming you are not, but just don't want alcohol, that part of the wine will cook off at 130 degrees F. That means that if you cook your steak 4-6 minutes on each side in the broiler or on the grill, the alcohol will have burned off leaving you with a splendid flavor of what is left of the wine; just the wonderful flavor it will impart to the fish. I think a better choice for Salmon would be Vermouth - sweet or dry. I have never heard of red wine with any fish, including salmon. You have my… [cont.]

I accidentally substituted ground for fresh ginger. Is the sauce ruined?
Q. I am slow cooking country style pork ribs. I used a sauce/marinade recipe that I've never tried before. Ingredients are: ketchup soy sauce garlic honey white wine vinegar ginger cinnamon pepper The ginger was supposed to be 2 tsp of FRESH ginger. Not thinking, I tossed in ground (2 tsps!). It's much too strong now. I took a taste and it left a horribly potent after-taste in my mouth. Can this sauce be saved??
Asked by LadyJaneGrey - Tue Dec 29 13:02:29 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If you don't want to end up with double or triple the amount of sauce you now have. Take half of your sauce then make half of the sauce again, without adding the ginger, and add that to the half you saved out. You can either save the other half for a later time or just throw it away knowing you at least saved half of your ingredients. If you do this you will be cutting the amount of ginger in half by throwing out half a recipe and adding a new half recipe.
