That's a great approach. This will certainly become a reality in my household. Does it form a pellicle?

Yes, but it is not especially cohesive, it is more of a layer of small particles at the top.  Nothing that looks like a proper mother, no big gel-like blobs or anything.  It definitely smells like vinegar though

I make vinegar with leftover red wine.

Leftover wine?

Yeah that's true puni but I often find three fingers of wine in a bottle from a few days (or longer) before. Goes into the spaghetti sauce. Which reminds me of sangria. Tom I might have to do "malt vinegar".
