His wife is an oil expert, but I hear they're separating.
TheUmopepisdn 😂
If only they had a h̶a̶r̶m̶o̶n̶i̶o̶u̶s homogeneous marriage.
@@andrews3137 i hear it was quite an emulsion
Get out of here 😂😂
only +90 IQ will undertand the joke
Price points should include a section where the expert explains how they became an expert!
That, and the actual brands being tested.
It would be cool, but then again if one is interested, they do provide the full name, so one can easily look them up. Furthermore if you look in the description of this video, they have actually linked to his vinegar cookbook that has won an award.
i looked up some of the experts and everyone i looked up are actual big names in the industries theyre "experts" in ... like the chocolate one is like an heiress to a chocolate dynasty
@Sir Nicholas D Not really. Most of the people they get on this show work in the industry and are very experienced, definitely knowledgeable enough to call experts.
also the brands that they are using
one of my favorite things about this 'Price Points' series is that it reveals a lot of the magic of everyday life.
as an average Joe, i miss a lot of magic in my life. i don't understand the artistry, craftsmanship and effort going into my favorite cheese, bread, knife, vinegar, etc. after these videos, i realize i should appreciate these little things more, and when you appreciate the little things more, life gets so much better :)
Well said ^^
whos joe?
James Lee I am Joe :-)
Beautifully said! I like to read about my favorite brand of item while I'm eating/drinking it sometimes lol
House Hunters: Michael is a vinegar expert and has a budget of $1.2 million.
Simon Marthinsen *snort laugh*
I was exactly looking for this comment HAHAHA!
Romain Risso I’m here for you!
Amazing
LMFAOOOO
Wow this dude knows a lot of random historical facts. I'd watch more vinegar related content from this guy
hes so passionate like wow, i love it
He wrote a book and does a couple of podcasts! Highly suggest checking them out, he's a pretty cool guy. His book is called Acid Trip. He is on Modernist Breadcrumbs, Food Seen, and Burnt Toast podcasts too.
werd
@@robertmanley3376 I love finding weird podcast communities like these. Like, of course, there are food podcasts, but I've never thought about it! I just found a podcast called Woodtalk. It's dudes who do woodworking! I don't want to turn my own wooden spoons, but it makes me happy listening to these guys who do.
This guy and the Pickle expert should hang out.
Also a cheap vs expensive sodas would be interesting.
Is there such a thing as expensive soda?
@@austenhead5303 I mean. Yeah, there are craft sodas. Sprecher comes to mind, which usually runs about $6 dollars for a four pack, but is so worth it.
“Let’s taste the power of sour” 😂😂😂😂😂
could you do one on honey
Is should be able to make out of mead .
Alright, the next episode will be about oil for sure.

I don’t know if they’ll mix well together...
After that'll be sporks.
Expecting a italian with slick black hair
He's so passionate, I love him
"You can have one meal with anyone alive or dead, who do you choose"
This guy. 100% this guy
He's the hard core version of the wine expert
When I eat salad with balsamic vinegar all I can think about is how much I love balsamic vinegar. It's sooo good.
thank you.
try mixing it with a little good olive oil and seedy mustard, even better :)
exactly. it makes EVERY vegetable tastier.
It's the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted and I truly believe it was invented by satan himself.
@@codyjames3416 Your opinion is incorrect and disgusting, balsamic vinegar is the most delicious liquid ever formed
Vinegar is my favourite flavour, so I was salivating the entire video.
Where is the peanut butter expert? We need to settle the raging debate between creamy or chunky!
Well, these vids aren't about which is better, but which is pricier. :))))
@@waranghira Usually the better ones pricey or gets a run for its money.
Peter Tea creamy is much better
Alton prefers crunchy so..
They don't compare different versions of a product to each other
I was fortunate enough to receive a bottle of very high end balsamic vinegar as a gift. It was one of the best things I have ever tasted. So uniquely different from your average balsamic.
I think the food we've consistently been asking for in the comments so far are olive oil, whiskey, pasta, and rice. @ epicurious come on!!
June Cho but how many different types of olive oil are there
I'd like Rum, Mead, Vodka, Tequilla, Brandy, Milk, Butter, Yoghurt, and of course, everything you said.
They got whiskey!
And water. Don't forget water.
Whiskey is already up so oil, pasta, and rice I guess?
How do these people always look like you'd expect an expert of that topic to look like..?
You had an expectation on what a vinegar expert looks like? Better imagination than me I guess.
yogiyoda no they look like the food
I think they go out and find people who look like you'd expect for it. These people likely get an uptick in business because of people googling them.
One of my favorote vinegars to apply in cooking is a white wine - taragon vinegar.
An italian 'condimento' which is a white-wine equivalent of a cheap balsamic, with a lot of taragon pushed into the bottle. Adds complexity, a touch of sweetness and rounds out the unpleasant acidity. It's great for mayonnaise/hollandaise/dressings and simple pickling.
Plus, a 'gastrique' (sugar and vinegar of some sort, reduced to a syrup) is a classic French technique to add complexity to any sauce/marinade. I make mine with (cheap) balsamic, honey and a small swig of red wine.
I really don’t intend for this to sound offensive but...why do so many of these experts look like the thing they’re reviewing
You are what you eat.
😆
he looks like vinegar?
The cheese expert lady definitely looked like a slice of cheese, in a good way of course
How does a human being look like vinegar?
mom, dad, I'm going to vinegar school
This episode on vinegar has got to be the most counterintuitive episode of the whole series. All the things I thought were evidence of good vinegars turned out not to be lol.
Radical.Compounds well on the positive side youve got cheap taste, which might sound bad but it also means you can get what you like for a cheaper price >_>
Like what
Wow! The apple cider vinegar part was super informative.
And a bit in accurate.
What about malt vinegar?
RUclips recommended: y’all like vinegar?
Is he mark Zuckerberg's dad?
its_a_trab brother
Oh my gosh I can't unsee it
Pretty sure they’re the same age lol
Was hoping for sherry vinegar. It’s not well known compared to balsamic, but it is uniquely sweet and flavorful.
@@itsgoingtobeok-justbreathe4808 nobody cares.
He looks a tiny bit like Tim Allen, santa clause years.
Madeline Elizabeth just a little ‘bet’
I disagree with the expert. white distilled vinegar has its place in cooking. I use it in certain sauces that require the acid but not necessarily any ancillary flavor.
should be noted I am a hot sauce expert.
Ralphgtx280 hm that’s an interesting point 🤔 I can’t picture buffalo sauce being the same without white vinegar lol but now I want to try and find out
Also, to help with poaching eggs
@@Ralphgtx280 prove it.
@Cody what am I proving ?
Everyone talking about how the "editing mistake" shows off that they know the prices beforehand.... it doesn't. Look at the little bowls- they edited that part *from* a later point when the price tags were shown and the bowls had had vinegar put in them. This really is just an editing mistake, nothing more (not saying they don't know prices beforehand, maybe they do- but this does not prove that).
The experts have been wrong before too. I'm pretty sure it's an honest test of knowledge. I don't think they know beforehand.
they spelt epicurious wrong in the video title too
I honestly think it's just the order in which the clips were put together
Next episode:
Toilet paper expert guesses cheap vs expensive toilet paper.
😂
if there's brown on your fingers - its the cheap one
That video would make my whole week and the cheap toilet paper would make his hole weak.
In brackets taste test
It's just Sean Evans from Hot Ones.
The wipe test is brought to you by Taco Bell
Idk why but as soon as I saw the video, I imagined him chugging the entire bottle
He would die from acidosis
I would love to sit down and just talk to this guy for a few hours, he just seems really interesting and he has a lot of cool background information beyond just the vinegar. This series continues to be fun and fascinating and I can't wait for more.
That guy is the most delightful expert ever, I just want him to explain everything to me in that tone XD
Nary a word on my favorite vinegar. Malt vinegar is the best.
Stainless steel has a taste too, we're just so used to it, you can get gold spoons which has no taste to it as it's 'neutral'.
Any decent cooking surface is seasoned to prevent this sort of thing.
Hopefully nobody seasons a spoon.
Up next: Isotope expert guesses cheap vs expensive Polonium
Before: Cheese expert, meat expert!
Now: Vinegar expert, honey expert!
Future: Cake flour expert, water expert!

04:13 "this is almost double the price!". Dude, come on.
That expensive balsamic had me heavy breathing
God I'd love to try it
The She-Dragon Me too!
His shoulder always moving, that's fantastic lol.........
Denny Bastian lord now I can't focus on anything else!
So. What you're telling ME that this dude tastes vinegar for a living and says "Yeah. That's expensive alright."
No he probably manages the vinegar production site
He's a writer and a podcaster. Just google his name
this was so great to watch because I LOVE vinegar so much!!
I feel this was one of the Price Point episodes I was most put off of because it was not not as compelling as the others. Upon reviewing this, after having watched the majority of the other Epicurous episodes, I feel that his expertise is one of the strongest ones out of the series.
Superb analysis!
Very cool and interesting. I really like these videos! Didn't expect one about vinegar, but really cool!!
Not all rice wine are sake，sake just refers to Japanese rice wine. There are also Chinese, Korean and other rice wine
In fact sake just means "alcohol" in Japanese. Nihonshu (lit. "Japanese alcohol") is what Japanese people call "sake". It took me a while to figure that out when I first moved to Japan. Nobody knew what I was talking about when I asked about "sake". As you say, there are lots of different rice wines around the world -- and a lot of rice vinegars too!
@@urouroniwa well I know what you are saying. I am studying in Japan right now
I don’t know why I dig this guys so much! He just has such positive energy!
Now I wanna go drink a bunch of vinegar.
The artwork of these is always so gorgeous
This series is genuinely fascinating
There’s a shop in Sedona, Az that sells vinegars and oils. The people that work there let you taste/sample and combine flavors etc. It’s otherworldly. They have a jalapeño olive oil and mixed with a pineapple balsamic vinegar is heavenly. That’s just one of many. I never knew how wonderful vinegar could be and all that you could do with it until I went to that store
Always nice to meet a fellow vinegar expert. I started with general vinegar too, but decided to specialise in balsamic. You really need a specialty in the competitive world of vinegar.
Man was about to go off about that fancy balsamic. I feel like I've been robbed, cutting him off like that
4:13 "This is almost double the price" (2.13 vs 0.95)
Next video: Math expert guesses good math from bad math
$2.13 is pretty close to $1.90. Him saying it's almost double could be construed the same as him saying it's nearly double the price. Still accurate.
My favorite from this series!!
Really enjoyable video to watch while eating pickles
Interesting about the akazu rice vinegar
I friggen LOVE this series
This series has been fantastic.
Love this! I already sip vinegar, not really for any major health benefit but because sometimes I enjoy the flavors you can find in decent vinegars. Glad to see I'm not entirely insane, haha.
Oh man, that's nasty.
@@tibor29 Apparently not; how do you expect the guy in the video learned his craft?
While my ears listen to the expert but my eyes are all on the chalkboard art.
Alvin Koeswanto There’s a video about the chalkboard art. Check it out!
He knew what he was talking about and more!!
Moreee episode of this series pleasseee!
How about the best distilled white vinegar? Kidding!
this was really interesting to me, as a vinegar-maker.
Part of Balsamic vinegar, traditionally it is fermented directly to vinegar, not juice/must to wine then vinegar. This direct to vinegar process uses different yeasts and produces a smoother product.
With each batch of vinegar, some old is blended with the new. A “24 year” vinegar is dating the youngest batch, and may include vinegar which is decades older.
I miss specialty vinegars from the Philippines. The most common vinegar that we used was sugar cane vinegar, but specialty vinegars include vinegar from rice, sugar palm, mangrove palm, coconut, and strawberry wine.
With how much I love vinegar, I'm loving this rn
A L same
This series is awesome
Crazy how common balsamic vinegar has become. Everyone eats it in Finland now.
For a moment I thought the title said "Viagra Expert Guesses Cheap vs Expensive Viagra"
Do a whisky expert PLEASE. So much to learn as it’s such a large subject :)
I love this series 🤗
If this video had been made in the UK or any Commonwealth nation, there would have been malt vinegar included
I love vinegar und put it on nearly everything I eat :D (also Pizza, yep) Thanks for the education!
Same! I love vinegar 🤤
Ok so, A) I’d LOVE to try that syrupy balsamic... maybe on a caprese salad 😋
And B) I was really hoping they would feature sherry vinegar. That’s my favorite kind
You might care to search out 'Aceto Balsamico di Modena, Riserva', which is very good for the price (~$23 for 375 ml). I'm sure you'd like Acetaia del Cristo's 'The Fabulous Paradise 2018' balsamic vinegar which is aged 150 years, but it costs over $300 for 100 ml.
As a lover of vinegar, I appreciate this video. :)
nobody:
someone tasting something sour: its very sweet
was expecting this guy to just drink the vinegar for the taste test since he is an expert.
Who ever does those drawings in the back is very talented.
Idk why but now I crave for vinegar
Why? Because you just watched a guy say how delicious it is for 15 min... Pretty obvious lol
The background music, his way of explaining and enthusiasm.... crazy
watching him taste test made my mouth water lol, yum!
He just seems so lovely and friendly. I 100% want this guy to be an expert of something else so we can have him back
Balsamic is my favourite and always goes well with salads
Hearing him talk about vinegar makes my mouth water 😅???
Learned so much in such a short time. Like do not use white vinegar as it could come from petroleum... what the heck? Who’d a thunk it? Wow.
Absolutely amazing.
It’s weird to me that used the non-alcoholic definition of cider. To me, cider is an alcoholic drink made from fruits that’s less than 8% alcohol. Higher than that, and it’s considered wine. Since vinegar is made from alcoholic drinks, ACV is made from apple cider whether it was filtered or not.
Interesting to learn about the history of balsamic
This guy clearly loves his job. Nice.
The chalk art is amazing
Please do a version of this with a Cigar expert. Would love to learn what to look for in a cigar.
Okay ill try to remeber all of this while sneaking little sips out of the bottles at the grocery store
Wow, I'm surprised akazu was involved. I don't see it often in English food/cooking videos. It's so good mixed with rice. Really gives it an umami flavor!
I don't know why but he's a very buoyant person and it's cute
please make an amateur series! "Vinegar Amateur Guesses Cheap vs Expensive Vinegar"
it could be hilarious and would add little to no production costs as they could just come in right after and you could do another shoot. I think this would get tons of views and it would add a lighter and more accessible tone to the series.
2:45 me sending screen prints to my ex
he is so wholesome omg why is he so adorable
These videos always make me feel smarter 😂 i guess that means the experts are good bc just hearing them talk about their area of expertise makes me feel smarter
