For the fabrication of a mother, leave 1 to 2 glasses of organic wine vinegar (without sulfites) in an open bottle for about a month. Cover with cheesecloth to protect from fruit flies. You will get a mother for making vinegar. Preparation of the vinegar Pour two liters of good red or white wine in the vinegar pot, gently put the mother on the surface and wait for two months. Vinegar can then be withdrawn. Just add wine to it as is needed. The remainder of your wine bottles will be perfect. Preferably place the vinegar pot in a cool place.
