Pommery Red Wine Vinegar 500ml

Red Wine Vinegar

A good red wine vinegar is one of those ingredients that can make all the difference to everyday cooking, and Pommery Red Wine Vinegar 500ml is a lovely example of traditional French craftsmanship. Made from carefully selected wines and matured in oak barrels, this French red wine vinegar has a rich, rounded flavour with a pleasant sharpness and subtle woody notes from the ageing process.

With its deep, wine-like character and balanced acidity, Pommery Red Wine Vinegar is perfect for making homemade salad dressings, marinades and classic French sauces. A splash brings a welcome tang to slow-cooked beef dishes, while a little whisked with extra virgin olive oil and Dijon mustard makes a delicious vinaigrette for leafy salads, roasted vegetables and warm lentils.

Its 7% acidity gives it a particularly punchy flavour, making it useful for deglazing pans, balancing rich sauces and adding a little brightness to hearty dishes. It works beautifully with shallots, fresh herbs, garlic and olive oil, whether you're preparing a simple tomato salad or something more elaborate.

What does 7% acidity mean in red wine vinegar?

The acidity percentage indicates the concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar. At 7%, Pommery Red Wine Vinegar has a higher acidity than many everyday wine vinegars, which are commonly around 5–6%. This gives it a more pronounced sharpness, so you may find that a slightly smaller quantity is enough when following recipes written for milder vinegars.

Why is red wine vinegar aged in oak barrels?

Oak barrel maturation allows vinegar to develop a more rounded and complex flavour over time. The vinegar can take on subtle woody notes while its sharper characteristics become better integrated. This traditional process is particularly associated with speciality wine vinegars, where the aim is to create more depth than simple acidity alone.

When should you add red wine vinegar to a slow-cooked dish?

Red wine vinegar can be added at different stages depending on the result you want. Adding it early allows the acidity to blend into the cooking liquid, while stirring in a small amount towards the end gives a fresher, more noticeable tang. For rich beef stews and braised meats, a final splash can help balance the richness without making the dish taste overtly vinegary.
