Wine Vinegar

Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed. High acidity means it's shelf-stable and won't spoil if stored properly.

Use red wine vinegar for hearty dishes like stews and marinades, and white wine vinegar for lighter fare such as vinaigrettes and seafood.

A splash of wine vinegar can brighten the flavor of sauces and deglazed pans.

It's excellent for quick pickling vegetables.

Oils (olive, vegetable)

Herbs (thyme, rosemary, basil)

Using a low-quality wine vinegar that has an overly harsh or artificial taste.

Not sealing the bottle tightly after use, which can dull the flavor over time.
