Difference between distilled vinegar and white vinegar

White vs Distilled Vinegar In short, the most notable distinction is the acid content. While distilled white vinegar is bolder than many other cooking vinegars in terms of that sharp sour flavor, its acid percentage is on par with other more mild condiments (roughly 5%-8%).

White vinegar typically consists of 4–7% acetic acid and 93–96% water. It can be used for cooking, baking, cleaning and weed control and may aid weight loss and lower blood sugar and cholesterol.
