What is Black Vinegar?
I get this truly awesome vinegar, BLack Vinegar, at some Asian grocery stores around Los Angeles. I have been saying its similar to Bragg liquid Aminos.
I have no idea what it's made out of, does anyone know for a fact what it is?

Black Vinegar is basically what it's called, and has a smoky and mellow flavor. It is made from rice, sometimes from glutinous rice and is sometimes used as a full-flavored but much cheaper balsamic vinegar. Hope this helps! :)

What is a substitute for black vinegar?
If you can't find black vinegar, you can substitute white rice vinegar/rice wine vinegar, which is usually more readily available, even in regular supermarkets. In a real pinch, you can substitute a bit of balsamic vinegar, though be careful because some balsamic vinegars can be very syrupy and sweet.Is vinegar and black vinegar the same?
A. Black vinegar is an Oriental condiment made from white rice, somewhat similar to the balsamic vinegar made from grapes. It varies in quality in the same way that balsamic vinegars vary. The better black vinegars are aged for several years and display a complex, smoky depth of flavor.Is black vinegar the same as balsamic?
The longer that it sits, the more complex the flavors become. The key differences between black vinegar and balsamic are that black vinegar is made with grains instead of grape juice and aged in clay pots instead of barrels.How do you make black vinegar at home?
