Yes, and who's going to have a whole tablespoon of vinegar at once anyway?

when i am making a big big big big salad i'd use quite a few tablespoon of
balsamic vinegar...

Really expensive Balsmic Vinegar is not meant for using on a salad. Italians
drink it like an aperitif or digestive. The less expensive is still sweet
but no really good one has added sugar. It should all come from the grapes
and the aging process.

Really, it does. Got some balsamic vinegar, didn't read the label close
enough. Contains grape juice, 1 g of sugar per tablespoon....

Actually I was thinking of mixing [the balsamic vinegar] it with
non-alcoholic wine or something.

Gosh, that's an expensive passtime! How about cider or wine vinegar? We
used
to enjoy it as a very dilute drink as kids.


Well, that sounds like kind of what I was aiming at. What kind of wine
vinegar did you use? Did you mix it with the cider?

Maybe 'balsamic' was the wrong kind to get? It looked real dark and strong
and grapy.

That's kind of like what I had in mind. Can you tell me more? Do they mix it
with anything, or let it sit till it's less sharp?

Looking at the label.... It doesn't list sugar as an ingredient, but the
chart does list "sugars 5 g" per tablespoon. The ingredient list gives "red
wine vinegar, concentrated grape juice."


Skinny

Then it's not real balsamic vinegar. It's red wine vinegar sweetened with
grape juice concentrate. I hope you didn't pay a lot for it.

The Italians can do anything they want. Salad is one of the staples of my
diet. If I want to use a really good balsamic for my dressing, I'm going
to.

I'd guess my Mum would use red wine vinegar, and she wouldn't spend a whole
lot on it. We only ever had one kind of salad vinegar at a time, so we
wouldn't have mixed them.
