Vinegar is easy to create; place an open bottle of wine on the kitchen counter and before long it will turn into vinegar. But just because you have vinegar, that doesn't mean it's palatable. Good, balances, flavorful vinegar take time, experience, quality raw ingredients, and a good amount of finesse to make well.
There is some belief that when, in medieval times, the wines harvest would go bad and turn acidic they would then used it in cooking and to soften "aged" meat. If it were only that simple. The truth is, producing good wine vinegar is a more difficult process. And making a GREAT vin aigre can take, well..., years to create if you want one that has personality and doesn't taste like bad wine. Of all the vinegars, wine vinegar tasted off the spoon might be the least appealing, but when added to a dish it can make the best impression!
Unpasteurized vinegar is alive and that's a good thing! Although some are more highly filtered that others, a good raw vinegar will retain some of the "mother" in each of the bottles giving you a good dose of pro-biotics with every shot. Add to that a nice dose on acedic acid to aid digestion, and fruit polyphenols (like resveratrol) to give you a nutritional boost, and you can't go wrong. But not all vinegars are created equal.
