Hmmm,
Organic vinegar such as apple cider vinegar is not acidic!

Well, if it isn't acidic, then it isn't vinegar. Vinegar is a weak
(~ 5%) solution of acetic acid in water. Some types may have various
"flavourings" in addition, but it is the acid that makes it vinegar.

Hmmm,
When you have a heart burn due to too much stomach acid; acid refulux,
take some apple cider vinegar what happens? No heart burn! You can
tell from taste whether it is acidic or alkaline. Another example?
Orange is acidic, lemon is not.

Vinegar is acidic. Try testing with litmus paper. Or bicarbonate of soda.

Common sense prevails.
