November 1st, 2025 is National Vinegar Day

Vinegar has been in use since at least 3,000 BC as a condiment, preservative (in pickling), marinade--even as a cleaner! CDK has recipes that call for all types of vinegar: malt, balsamic, red wine, or apple cider vinegar, among others.
For its versatility and longevity, vinegar is given special recognition today, National Vinegar Day!
