Barrel Aged Manufacturing

Classic Wine Vinegar Co. is one of the few vinegar manufactures left in the United States that produces vinegar using the Orleans method. Though scientific advances have made large-scale production of vinegars fast and easy, it is the handcrafted Orleans method that allows for the most full-bodied and nutrient-rich wine vinegars. This rare artisan technique originated nearly 200 years ago in France. A starter, called the "mother" is added to quality wine. Unlike most modern vinegar making, which is based on rapid, forced fermentation, and flushing the wine with oxygen, the Orleans technique requires the vinegar to age for months in small French Oak barrels. As a consequence of this extensive process, very little commercial production of the vinegar exists in the US. The taste of this vinegar is described as full bodied and robust.

Bulk Manufacturing

The process of converting vinegar once took months, if not years, but now, with the help of an acetator, a machine that speeds up the metabolism of the Acetobacter aceti, red wine vinegar can be made in less than 24 hours. Classic Wine Vinegar prides itself on using the finest wines to manufacture the finest wine vinegars using the Acetator method.
