Favorite Vinegars

I use several different types of vinegars and was wondering what vinegars everyone else uses and how. I would love to get some new ideas.

My favorites
Champagne vinegar (salad)
Malt (fries)
Balsamic (dressings, glazes, marinades, veggies, dessert, fruit)
Rice (Asian sauces, sushi rice)
Honey and Serrano (from a local vinegar shop, good on everything)
Red wine (salads)

What are your favorites?

    Ume plum (salty- good with Asian salads)
    White balsamic (honey ginger, local) - in spritzers, on everything
    Braggs ACV- in marinades for pork/chicken, splashed over roasted veg
    Red wine- in chimichuri (spelling) and other cilantro sauces

    I make my own caesar salad dressing and red wine vinegar is the best for it. Adds a little sweetness.

    I've never heard of the ume plum. Is it a plum wine vinegar?

    And I don't know if I've had white balsamic but I bet it's really good. Gonna watch out for it

    Ume is the Japanese word for plum. The "vinegar" is the byproduct from making umeboshi which is a dried, brined side dish often eaten with rice. It's not technically a vinegar but it's plenty sour and flavorful. It is not made from umeshu (plum wine)
