Today, almost the whole production of wine vinegar is undertaken by large manufacturers mainly for use in the preservation industry. White or red wines can be used to make wine vinegar, called aceto di vino bianco or aceto di vino rosso. You can buy wine vinegars that have been made with just one variety of grape, but this has more to do with being able to charge a higher price than producing a better product. If the vinegar has been properly made, allowing the alcohol in the wine to oxidize to 6% acidity, then the type of wine used is not important.
