That's actually how I react to vinegar in sauces and such. I use
just vinegar and oil on salads, for example, with no problem (I can
control what I use), but many hot sauces just kill me because of the
vinegar, not the chile.
Also brings back memories of drinking multiple bottles of cheap cheap
wine and, uh, having to taste it twice. I suppose that would be
cheap BAD wine. Yuck.
