  1. Never been tempted to shotglass vinegar, but the spanish one I have isn't THAT harsh (bearing in mind it's vinegar). 1 Litre is . LaVilla from Toledo. 50c EURO ~ 0.59c USD. Tastes great on my chips. Probably around the same lattitude as Italian one. They make sparkling Cava in Spain, which is ~ champagne, but not EU area, ~1.90 Euro for 11.5% semi-dec Cabre & Sabana (Mercadona). Hoping that Portugal / Gibraltar / Anadlusia / Malta form a med Crypto-Coast… to rival El-Salvador… Eth. Cardano. Rev etc… What is White Wine Vingear used in?

  2. "Champagne grapes" are Pinot Noir. They just don't sit on the skins for long (except in the case of pink Champagne which do variable lengths for different shades). And "Champagne can only be called Champagne if it is sparkling wine coming from the Champagne region of France, else it must be called "sparkling wine". And frankly, in California, we make some of the best sparkling wine in the world (but I am a flat wine drinker, usually something in the way of Bordeaux or Mertiage blend, or a Rhone blend depending on mood – for sweet, give me a Sauternes or late-harvest Riesling).

  3. I really prefer Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay white wine vinegars, but there's also a Semillion sort from Australia they used to make at, I think Rosemont/mount(?) in the late 90s. It was excellent and not super expensive. I used to use it on everything from salads to Subway sandwiches.

  4. One may use distilled white vinegar to remove hard water build-up from stainless steel sinks, etc. Just dampen a rag with the vinegar and place it upon the spot where one would like the hard water deposit removed. Leave for an hour let's say, then wipe clean.
