does balsamic vinegar turn rancid if left out of frig? (dressing, bottle)

[nickerman]

Just wondering how long it will keep outside of frig. What about other vinegars

[jay5835]

No. I've never refrigerated vinegar of any kind.

If you leave vinegar out long enough, it turns to vinegar.

I thought it turned to Merlot .

If it goes bad, I have been using a lot of bad vinegar for years. I have a selection of several bottles and they are all on my vinegar rack.

Vinegar does not "go bad". Some may loose flavor like herb or fruit vinegars.

I never keep vinegar in the fridge unless it's a mixed salad dressing.

I've never kept it in the fridge and I've had the same bottle for over two years. You do need to keep it in a dark and cool place.

It should keep for years. And years. And years. Don't even bother putting it in the fridge.
