Full Vinegar Collection


We make all of our small-batch vinegars using a unique process from the early 1800s that produces vinegars with greater depth of flavor and brighter colors. All of our vinegars are naturally fermented using American wines, ciders, sakes, and beers—in this way our vinegars honor and build on the national craft alcohol movement. Made, aged, and hand-bottled by us in our vinegar works in New England. Our vinegars will enhance your cooking and cocktails and are intended for home cooks and professional chefs.

Vinegar FAQs

How is vinegar made?

Traditional vinegar is made by fermenting some type of alcohol—think beer, wine, cider, sake – into acetic acid. To make vinegar you need five key ingredients: alcohol, vinegar bacteria, oxygen, heat, and time.

Depending on the ABV (alcohol by volume) of the specific alcohol you may need to add water to dilute the alcohol. This is because when you get to a certain height in ABV the vinegar bacteria simply cannot operate and eat away at the alcohol to transform it into acetic acid or vinegar. This, by the way, is why your bottle of scotch will never turn into vinegar.

Over time and at the right temperature the vinegar bacteria will eat away at the wine or cider and turn into vinegar. Depending on the level of ABV, the environmental conditions, and the amount of vinegar you are trying to make this can take anywhere from two weeks to about six months simply to complete the fermentation. During this time you will see that a film, often thick, will form on top of the liquid. This is vinegar mother and is a byproduct of vinegar fermentation.

Better traditional vinegars are then aged for months to years after fermentation. This allows the vinegars to develop more nuanced flavor profiles and not just be acid bombs.

Reach out if you have any other questions on how vinegar is made.

Which ingredients do you use to make your vinegar?

The main ingredient in vinegar is alcohol.

To make our vinegars the only alcohols we use are select American wines, beers, cider, and sakes.

Our vinegars stand on the shoulders of America’s microbrewers and vintners and we are thankful for their efforts and craft.

What is co-fermentation and why is it better than infusing?

Some of our vinegar are “co-fermented” or “fermented flavors”.

This means that while our alcohol (e.g. wine or cider) ferments into vinegar we introduce different fruits and spices into the liquid mixture. As the bacteria eat away at the alcohol they also interact with the fruit or spices and this ultimately produces very unique vinegars with a greater depth of flavor.

Co-fermented vinegars contrast with infused vinegars. You make infused vinegar the way you would make tea. You start with a vinegar that has already fully fermented and then you put in spices or fruits to infuse vinegars with a specific taste. These flavors tend to be more aggressive and less nuanced than co-fermented flavors.

We never infuse our vinegars. And buyer beware that there are companies out there that say they make vinegar but all they are doing is buying vinegars and then infusing them. Vinegar makers are those that ferment alcohol into vinegar, not those using purchased vinegars as an ingredient. Well now we are all worked up…

Much Better Than The Imported Rice Wine Vinegars!

The difference between this vinegar and the imported versions is night and day. Unlike the imported ones that contain additional salts and sugars, AVW's is clean and refreshing, and wins the taste test hands down.

perfect

I cant decide if this or the honey vinegar is my favorite, both are almost sippable by themselves. For salads, fruit or even some desserts this is an incredible option.

Exquisite!

This is a lovely, balanced sherry vinegar. The flavor is complex, and the acidity is just right: pointed and and just a bit mellow.

The best!

We have tasted every one in the sampler. The rice wine vinegar and malt vinegar are our favorites, but each one is wonderful!

Delicious vinegar

There really is a difference between this amazing vinegar..all varieties….and supermarket. The taste is crisp and clean….I literally drink it with water…it’s that good. Of course, your salads will sing and a splash or two will brighten almost any dish and make it better. Wonderful product…

So tasty and effective!

I must take some ACV every evening to support digestion. I suffer from leaky gut and ACV is the only thing that helps me at night. Other brands are not good and have iffy additives that I don’t trust. Your ACV is clear, tastes better, and is effective! Thank you.

Have tasted it , it is very good. Have not used it yet. Will be making salad dressing first with it. Going to make baby greens, bacon, hard boiled eggs, and red onion to put it on. You have a recipe for dressing that I will use . Please keep up with the recipes they look great and will try them with other products of yours. Thank you again for taking pride in your product, you can taste the difference.

The MCV is good. It's not as sweet as I feared it might be. Instead, it's more of a hint of maple. It will do very well as a base for my salad dressing and as a marinade. I think it will also pair well with veggies either roasted or done in an air fryer. Thanks for another really nice vinegar.
