Wine Based Vinegars

These wine vinegars are made by the French Orleans method: small oak casks are partially filled with wine and a select bacteria is introduced which slowly ferments the wine into vinegar.  Ventilation holes allow air flow to carry off fermentation by-products which can cause bitterness in vinegars produced in a more industrial method.
