Many dishes would not have the same flavor if they could not be seasoned with white wine vinegar, perhaps produced from particular vintages of white wines, aged in barrels of fine wood: after all, vinegar is a protagonist of the Mediterranean table , and in its white wine variant it is used both in the preparation of tasty salads, as well as in second courses with red or white meats and more or less valuable fish. Vinegar is also often associated with the preparation of light dishes for those who must maintain a light diet.
