Is there alcohol in brown vinegar?

Vinegar is made through a process called fermentation, where bacteria convert sugar into acetic acid. The acetic acid is what gives vinegar its characteristic sour taste and smell.

While the fermentation process does involve alcohol as an intermediate step, the alcohol is fully converted into acetic acid. This means there is no residual alcohol in the final vinegar product.

So, you can enjoy your brown vinegar without worrying about any alcohol content!
