Drinking vinegar

Vinegar produced under special conditions, which is not used for flavouring but as a drink for consumption. Its beneficial effect on metabolism and protein digestion has been known for a long time. Vinegar as a remedy was recommended by the mystic Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179). According to food law, drinking vinegar must have at least 5% (fruit) or at least 6% (wine) acidity. The alcohol content must not exceed 0.5%, or 1.5% in the case of products made from wine. The already fermented wine intended for this purpose should have a high residual sugar content in order to achieve a sweet and sour effect. Trockenbeerenauslese wines are suitable for this. The wine is inoculated with a special acetic acid bacteria culture (Acetobacter).

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
