LOL! Yeah, I thought the double-speak was pretty good.

Just comparing the two labels of the same brand. I did notice that the
dark vinegar had caramel added (for coloring it claimed).

*TJ's "regular" Balsamic Vinegar (in a jug)*
INGREDIENTS: Wine vinegar, concentrated grape must, caramel (color).
Contains natural sulfites.

*TJ'S "White" Balsamic Vinegar (tall, thin bottle)*
INGREDIENTS: White wine vinegar (contains sulfites) concentrated grape must.

Yes, the 2g carbs are sugars.

*TJ's Gold Quality Balsamic Vinegar (premium aged, in small bottle)*
INGREDIENTS: Wine vinegar, cooked grape must. Contains sulfites.
This one has 20 calories per tablespoon and 5g carbs, all sugars.
