Vinegar is produced from alcohol using a vinegar culture. The color of the vinegar is based on what was used to make the vinegar and thus results in different flavors. For instance, beer tastes different from red wine which is again different from white wine. Which vinegar you use should be based on why you are using it and the quality factors, such as what it was made in, how long it aged, etc. More concern should be applied to these things than what color it is. White things aren't always bad or a result of bleaching.

∙ 11y agoYou can use other forms of vinegar if you don't mind the taste being a bit different. "Brown vinegar" is not a term I'm personally familiar with, so I'm not sure if you mean cider vinegar or malt vinegar or even balsamic vinegar. Balsamic vinegar is the most different of those three, and replacing it in a recipe with some other kind of vinegar will almost certainly result in the end product not tasting the way you expect (to my taste, balsamic vinegar is quite a bit sweeter).

Can cider vinegar be substituted with burgundy vinegar?
Yes, but it depends on the recipe: cider vinegar has a sweetness to it (like apples), whereas balsamic vinegar has a really strong, tannic taste (like a heavy red wine). If you don't have cider vinegar, but you think balsamic would taste too strong, use lemon juice, plain vinegar, orange juice, dry white wine, etc. If you aren't baking with the vinegar, then you can also opt to omit it.

No, White vinegar is plain Acetic acid in water, but either as a simple chemical mix (usually very cheap or cleaning grade vinegar) or through fermentation of distilled alcohol (akin to Vodka). White wine vinegar is made from the fermentation of real White wine. As such White vinegar has a simple acidic taste, whilst White Wine vinegar retains much of its original White wine taste, with its alcohol replaced by the Acetic acid of vinegar.

This can happen if you use too much vinegar, or the wrong kind of vinegar. For every pound of peppers you are making, you should add 2 cups of 5% apple cider vinegar, or 2 cups of plain white 5% vinegar.

Yes, it is the same thing. Distilled white vinegar is the lowest grade of vinegars. It is made from the dregs of other vinegars. Distilled white vinegar is commmonly used in salad dressings and for pickling because it is clear and does not add any color to the recipe that you are making.
Is there wine in white wine vinegar?
White wine is a certain type of wine that are made from grapes such as pinot grigio, pinot noir, and others like them. It has a slightly more sour taste than red, and is much crisper and more refreshing. My favorite white wine is Vinho Verde from Twin Vines (http://www.jmftwinvines.com/about-twin-vines-wine.html) it's a sparkling white wine from Portugal and definitely something worth looking into.
