Okay, this sounded interesting, but I was wondering if you had 
mentioned this before. And Lo! you had. For those who might be 
interested in the original (and Brighid's translation), it is given 
towards the end of this file in the FOOD section of the Florilegium:
vinegar-msg       (78K) 12/21/04    Vinegar in period. Making vinegar.

Do you mean variations of the standard wine vinegar by adding 
flavorings? Or variations made by using other starting points than 
wine? You didn't post your translation of that section, so I can't tell 
from what is in my file.
