I know that vinegar is made from fermentation thru alcohol phase of various things. Has anyone ever had religious/moral reservations about using an alcohol product that isn't alcohol anymore?
Do theses same people avoid any products made with vanilla (or other) extract(s)? Some are alcohol based...if so then their arguement is out the window.
Many Muslims do just that. They also avoid alcohol-based perfumes etc. There are enough companies that supply alcohol- free flavourings.
unbelievably yukky stuff... the real thing is not hard to make.

A month or so ago, I bought a jug of cheap vinegar for pickling. After I got it home I noticed a sticker on the lable that ammended "Red Wine Vinegar" to "Red Wine Vinegar Style"
The ingredient list: water, acetic acid, red wine, red wine concntrate.
Obviously not made to get around the alcohol question, but some lab-produced thing nonetheless. It did pickle the vegetables, but I won't buy it again.
