Recently i have had a chance to taste the diffrence between the cheap vingers i buy and some really good vingers. My problem is the good suff is 15 quid a throw! So what bargins are to be had or is it worth spending the money?

If you are talking good balsamic vinegar then it is more like £150 a throw...

Think of it as though it were a spirit (such as Cognac).

You can buy a cheap one for everyday use and if you use it in a cooked out sauce, for instance, it's not a problem as you just want the underlying flavour.

If you want to use a vinegar 'raw' (such as a Balsamic or a vinegar in a dressing) then you want the best you can afford as it's the predominant flavour and the quality really makes a big difference.

A good vinegar should be drinkable, although I couldn't manage a pint in one go.

Try Aspall's cider vinegar. Delicious (and cheap).
