What is Red Wine Vinaigrette?
Red Wine Vinaigrette is a classic salad Dressing with Red Wine Vinegar as the souring agent . It is best to always have a versatile jar of dressings handy. And this Red Wine Vinaigrette Dressing is one of them. While most of the dressings are very quick to whip up, this vinaigrette also gets ready in two minutes. Oh, yes and I am not bluffing at all.

Does Red Wine Vinaigrette have Alcohol?
At one time red wine and white wine vinegar were alcoholic. At the beginning stage of the vinegar making process, wine was used to make these tart liquids. However, through the process of adding vinegar mother to the mix and allowing the wine to ferment turns the alcohol into acetic acid and thus creating vinegar. Once the wine has turned into acetic acid it is no longer alcoholic. The acetobacteria known as the vinegar mother eats at the alcohol and turns it into the acid vital to creating vinegar.
Although there may be some traces of alcohol in the vinegar but it is nothing to worry about. The same traces of alcohol that are left in vinegar are also contained in foods like fruit juices or stewed fruit. The trivial amount of alcohol that remains in vinegar is so low that you cannot be seriously affected by it, as if you consumed an alcoholic beverage.
Is Red Wine Vinaigrette Healthy?
Red Wine Vinegar helps in weight loss and is a cure for various digestive ailments. It is rich in anti oxidants and improves cholesterol profile. Since it is a part of this vinaigrette, the vinaigrette also becomes healthy in nature.
Is Red Wine Vinaigrette Vegan?
Although the ingredients used to make Red Wine Vinegar are vegan, the process might involve some Non Vegan elements. It’s best to read the description on the cover of the bottle or contact the manufacturer’s to know if that particular brand is vegan or not.
What can I use in place of Red Wine Vinegar?
This recipe is based on red wine vinegar as the main ingredient but if you don’t have it, you can definitely replace it with white wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar or even rice vinegar.
But we will will not call it Red Wine Vinaigrette if we are replacing the replacing the red wine vinegar with any other vinegar 🙂
