Pardon my ignorance, but is this just a blend of sherry and white or red wine vinegar? Can I make a close substitute at home? I don't feel like going out for this, using a little and junking up my shelf.

Would you use cream sherry or dry?

Sherry vinegar starts with dilute sherry, and mother of vinegar to ferment the alcohol to acetic acid. I would add a few drops of sherry to white vinegar(because it tastes neutral) till you got the taste and color you liked.

I started with the sherry instead, and added vinegar by the eyedropperful. My ratio was prob. about 10 to 1 on the finished product.

Complete instructions and supplies if you need them. If you have a vinegar
that has not been distilled or pasteurized. Then you can use it for your
starter just like yogurt.

Please pardon my ignorance: Is there any other one besides
unpasturized cider vinegar?

I am puzzled as to why you would need to pasteurize vinegar.

I'm guessing pasteurization means no mother forming, so you won't have
to strain it when you pour.

You provided the same link to two previous posts which didn't
contribute to either one of them and now all you can say is "yes"
without naming at least one alternative? I guess you consider your
words pearls.

I already said pasteurized and distilled in my original post. where you not
paying attention. As for the link both questions where about the
pasteurization process. Why it was used and what it did to the mother. The
link answered both of those questions.

I just bought an unpasturized red wine vinegar by Eden brand to use for
the mother to make vinegar.

Thank you! I will look for Eden Brand vinegar, maybe the green market
nearby carries it... I think they have some Eden brand canned goods.
