This is inaccurate. Vinegar making was and is accomplished with specific
microorganisms which are bacterial forms instead of yeast forms. Spoiled wine
and ale is just spoiled. It tastes nothing like vinegar and can and does make
you ill.
I would be interested in learning where you got the information that period
vinegar was spoiled food. Thanks in advance.
