Stefan, you always ask very good questions.  There are a lot of 
people on this list who are not experienced cooks, or who have 
gaps in their cooking knowledge.  I still remember (with gratitude) 
that a question of yours taught me the difference between white 
wine vinegar and white distilled vinegar.  So don't apologize for 
providing basic information.  There's always someone who needs it.
