Best Answer

When a bottle of vinegar is opened, the mother of vinegar may develop. It is considered harmless and can be removed by filtering. Colloquially-collected knowledge recommends an expiration or shelf-life date of 12-18 months, although no reference explicitly states its toxicity. Various records can be found warning of decomposition of flavoring elements, such as whole leaves, prepared in the vinegar.

Though I'm not sure what the deal is when the bottle hasn't been opened. I think it's almost always okay to use, just may taste a little funny after a while (that's plain white vinegar, not with added leaves/etc)

NO. There is no expire date for vinegar, just like there is no expire date for honey. i was sure there was no expire date then i asked my mom and she said there was none, and shes a cook. :)

Malt vinegar, white wine vinegar, white spirit vinegar. Spirit vinegar doesn't taste as good as any of the brewed vinegars.

Red wine vinegar would give a taste that you might not want.
