The vinegars available at the local shop (I am out in the bush) do not have
the strength mentioned on the label. Now if I had the gear I would take a
sample, do a standard dilution and titrate against a standardised base
solution using the appropriate indicator for a weak acid and strong base.
Or I could spend time at long distance rates trying to get this datum from
each manufacturer. Is there any simple way to test the strength of vinegar?

I don't know of any. My personal experience is strong vinegar makes me scrunch
up my face. The seasoned rice vinegar I use in salad is not that bad. The long
distance is good expense. Send a letter? an email?
