The gallon bottle of Shur-Fine store brand cider vinegar that was bought for
my last feast says nothing of the sort.  It says it is apple cider vinegar
diluted to 5% acidity and the ingredient list says "apple cider vinegar,
water".  That's about all that is on the label; it would have to be in
microscopic print hidden in the background design for me to miss it.

And I've just looked at the gallon size bottle of white vinegar that I use
for descaling the humidifier and such (and for my mom's German potato salad).
 It is Heinz brand, and the ingredients list says "Ingredients: Made from
selected sun-ripened grain, diluted with water to a uniform pickling and
table strength of 5% (50 grains) acidity".  so unless they are lying through
their teeth, not all white vinegar is made from coal tar.
