We have discussed vinegars here before including a little discussion on
balsamic vinegar. Check this file in the FOOD section of my Florilegium:
vinegar-msg       (28K) 10/ 1/98    Vinegar in period. Making vinegar.

While you are there, this one might also be of interest since verjuice is 
often given as an alternative to vinegar in some period recipes:
verjuice-msg      (33K)  8/ 3/98    Medieval verjuice. Modern substitutions.
