Cider vinegar is made from apple cider that has gone sour. regular "white" vinegar is made from grain alcohol, red and white wine vinegars are made from red and white wine and rice wine vinegar is made from rice wine.

I've got tons of original healthy recipes. Maybe I should start compiling them together into a cookbook?
