SMART SHOPPING
The number of red wine vinegars has exploded in the past decade. To find the best, tasters sampled 10 brands plain, in a vinaigrette, and in pickled onions. For an everyday option, our winner, Laurent du Clos Red Wine Vinegar, is hard to beat. At 35 cents per ounce, it’s not the least expensive brand we tried, but the price is reasonable for a vinegar that doesn’t compromise on flavor.
