Why do recipes tell you to add white vinegar when making a pavlova?

Vinegar is an acid that lowers the pH of a solution. As egg whites are beaten, small air pockets are created and the proteins in egg whites restructure around these air pockets to form the foam mixture. Adding a small amount of acid to a meringue will help stabilize the mixture by tightening the protein structure.
Lemon juice, or cream of tartar are also commonly used and can be substituted if no white vinegar is available.

For one teaspoon of vinegar use 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice OR 2 teaspoons white wineThe best answer will depend upon the recipe you are making. Basically, any other vinegar can be substituted for the acidity, though white wine vinegar is slightly less acidic than white vinegar. If color matters, you will want to choose a light color vinegar, and avoid balsamic or red wine vinegar. In many recipes, red may be substituted for white and vice versa, with a similar flavor achieved. If the tangy flavor of the white wine vinegar is what is needed in the final product, you may want to try white vinegar with a touch of lemon juice. In others, the milder, sweeter taste of wine vinegar is desired and you may want to add a bit of sugar to white vinegar to substitute it.
