How to make balsamic vinegar!

[foursons]

I make a lot of wines and sometimes the wines are spoiled.

I heard that you can make balsamic vinegar with red wines.

Is there anything that you do? or time would do its magic?

When it does become vinegar, can you store it in wine bottle? Do you have to cork it?

Please share your knowledge!

Thanks

wine is it sometimes your wines are spoiled...
from what i have read, red wine vinegar is easy to make, where balsamic vinegar is aged for 7 to 10 years. and made from a juice syrup.

Alright, I'm asking why do you have wines that spoil? I make a lot of wines and so far I have had to only dump on batch and I know why I had to.

I was recently talking with a local wine maker who said she used all her dregs and bottom of the barrel stuff to make a balsamic like vinegar, anyone here find a use for racking debris? Fran

You have to use vinegar culture (mother vinegar culture).
