Distilled vinegar, is made from just about any type, for instance rice, malt, wine, fruit, balsamic, apple cider, and many others. As its name suggests, it is distilled from ethanol. ‘Distilled’ plainly means that the liquid component is separated from the base mixture. This produces a colorless solution with nearly 5% to 8% acetic acid in water, relatively weaker than white or spirit vinegar.
