Question

Can u substitute red wine with red wine vinegar?

Answer 1

red wine substitutes:

Madeira

OR Port

OR pomegranate molasses (Use just a little.)

OR cranberry juice

OR broth

OR balsamic vinegar (Use just a little.)

OR currant juice

OR liquid used to reconstitute dried mushrooms

******************~~~~~~~~~~~

You can use red wine vinegar IF you add a couple TB or so of sugar to it!  

Answer 2

I wouldn't suggest doing this with a recipe that features wine or wine flavor as a key ingredient, but you can substitute wine, if called for in smaller amounts, with grape juice (red or white) and a dash of wine vinegar (red or white).  Proportions would be about 1 tablespoon vinegar in a 1/2 cup measure, then fill the rest of the way with juice.  This is a suitable replacement for wine in a marinade or if a recipe calls for a small amount of wine (1/2 cup or less).  The grape juice plus vinegar mixture contains more or less the right balance of sugar and acid.

Answer 3

*Yuk!* No you can't substitute for wine with a vinegar...better to substitute with a white wine if you have it.

Answer 4

No.  Both of these have different tastes.  Would you drink a glass of red wine vinegar?  What are you trying to make?

Answer 5

no...they are 2 different things with entirely 2 different flavors..  

Answer 6

that would be like substituting an apple with an orange or banana....they are 2 different entities...if you need red wine in a recipe and don't have it, you can substitute broth or even water for the amount of wine..it won't have the same taste as if using the wine, but it would be edible as opposed to using vinegar in place of wine..

Answer 7

Although the two products are related....

Wine is fermented and aged grape juice.  Yeast consumes the sugars present in the juice converting them into gaseous carbon dioxide and ethanol.

Bacteria consume the alcohol present in wine (in the presence of oxygen) to turn it into acetic acid (vinegar).

The  wine should be drinkable, and would add flavors that are dependent on the grape varietal.

Wine vinegar would add lots of acidity and a vinegar flavor with nuances and undertones from the grape varietal.
