I mean it is consumed quickly. **Q: What is the expiration time given after opening & refrigerating?** A: None. It'll last forever. **Q: does this product have added wine vinegar?** A: This doesn't have any added vinegar, but you should be aware that this is not balsamic vinegar. It is cooked grape juice (called "must"), the first step in making balsamic vinegar, but it is bottled immediately after cooking, and not fermented into vinegar. As such, it is very sweet, tasting like a grape jam with the consistency of syrup. There is little or no acidity. It's quite good and very concentrated- a little goes a long way. I use it in oatmeal, for example. **Q: what is the acidity ?** A: I don't think there is any acidity. It's not vinegar. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gift for foodie friend *by A***R on 8 July 2024* This high quality balsamic vinegar was bought as a gift for a foodie friend who appreciates the good things in life.
