Answer:

Lannice Snyman says:

Vinaigre (the French word for vinegar) means sour wine, and this is what wine vinegar is, being produced by an acid fermentation of fresh wine. By the same process, malt vinegar is made from malt liquor. Cream of tartar is a fine white powder crystallized from grape acid, and an ingredient in some baking powders. If you look at a bunch of fudge recipes, you would be amazed at the variety of ingredients cooks use in their concoctions. I would test them and choose the fudge you fancy best!
