White vinegar is a sharp, clear liquid made from fermented grain alcohol. In baking, small amounts react with baking soda to create lift. It also features in pickles, dressings, and marinades.

Recipes often call for vinegar by volume, in teaspoons or tablespoons, but some specify grams or millilitres. Getting the measure right keeps the acidity balanced.
