I've been browsing this forum all morning, looking for new low cost meal ideas and have shopped accordingly.. So thank you for that as I've saved a fortune!!

I want to cook this... http://www.waitrose.com/home/recipes/recipe_directory/b/braised_red_cabbage_with_apple.html but I have no red wine vinegar and the shops have just closed!!!
Can I substitute with just red wine? Or anything else??
Thank you xxx

I'ed drink some of the wine first;) then use some instead of the vineger... is the vineger inthere to add some sourness? if so maybe a drop of white?

I have made this many times without the red wine vinegar. you can add just wine and a splash of whatever vinegar you have, but personally I just drink the wine and add whatever vinegar I have, its delicious just the same, enjoy.

second the suggestion just use some red wine and liven it up with a dash or two of whatever vinegar you have to hand or cider vinegar is really nice with red cabbage and apples!
