Homemade Red Wine Vinegar

My first attempt to make Red Wine Vinegar seems to have come out fairly well to my surprise, quite simple I must add. Several months ago I collected several bottles of open bottles of wine. Dumped them into a container and added the “mother” that was formed from some store bought vinegar. Mixed in a little water. Covered top with cheese cloth. Placed it in a dark place and pulled it out today. I was a little sceptical at first about tasting it, looking carefully at it for mold and saw none. So, I tasted it and wow it was sure enough vinegar! So my second batch I made today will be white wine. Can not wait to make an Italian salad.
Anyone else make their own vinegar?

So you added vinegar to leftover wine and made vinegar?

I'll never make my own vinegar. I'm more worried that I'm not buying the best vinegar I can find. Vinegar and oil. There's so much to choose from and too few free samples.
The red wine vinegar I have right now is Bellino brand. It seems fine. Is there better out there? Maybe. Probably. I don't know. I'd love to be able to sample every oil and vinegar before I make a purchase. Make my own? How would I even know if I made it well?

Vinegar is too cheap to be trying that.

This reads like something that should have probably stayed in your head.

I have done it a time or two, but I don’t usually have leftover wine to keep it going.
Fermentation is so cool....it’s the kind of basic human food producing skill we have lost in our over appreciation of manufactured and prepackaged things.

I have a buddy of mine who owns one of the craft breweries down here who just took a batch of fermenting wort that had some poor performing yeast in it and he’s converting this failed Christmas Red Ale into craft vinegar in much the same way. A year from now he’ll be selling it to all the nice restaurants in Nola a gallon at a time.

Indeed—and if anyone is looking for a good geek Christmas present, “The Art of Fermentation” by Sandor Katz is a fine book. Recipients will be inspired to make everything from ginger beer to kimchi, kombucha, and kvass. Other things that don’t begin with K as well.
