Most importantly, I was able to understand from the description of Wikipedia, the price of vinegar varies from 150 to $ 400. Here is a godsend, I thought, it is necessary to accurately take.

Part matured balsamic vinegar of the smallest drums (10-20%) is supplied at sale, and the released amount of complementary second largest barrel, made up of the second-third, and so on. D. Each manufacturer uses its spices.
