i always order oil and balsamic vinegar- and i always get it on the side. that way, i know that they didnt mess up and give me balsamic vinagrette, which can have gluten. I dont cook much, but is there a vinegar thats not safe? i thought they were all distilled (shows how knowledgable i am about cooking)

Malt vinegars are not safe. There is another--apple cider FLAVORED vinegar. This is not to be confused with apple cider vinegar (which I use all the time). If you are ever in doubt at a restaurant, you could always order olive oil and lemon wedges and do your own.

so for the most part balsamic vinager is safe?

I have heard that most balsamic vinegars are safe. I was concerned about one that I had because it had carmel color and it was made in Italy. To be safe I got rid of it. However, I read on a thread somewhere that the vinegar I threw out was probably safe. Keep in mind I am not an expert.

balsamic vinegars are made from grapes -- for the most part, they are gluten-free -- usually the more expensive, the safer (pure product)

I have not found one BV that is not gluten-free (doesn't mean they don't exist)
