preservation Best vinegar for hotsauce?

Cane is great for a Scotch bonnet sauce and several others too. Great replacement for regular white vinegar.
 
Cider works surprising well for ghost based sauce and jalapeno/Fresno.
 
Rice vinegar is another good all around vinegar. Available in double strength too at some Asian/Korean markets.
 
For highend i get Champagne and Chardonnay vinegar. Quite often its 7% so recipe adjustments will likely be required.

Exactly. And don't be fooled by the word cane. Not sweet.
 
Think of it this way. Coca-Cola used to be made with cane sugar. Now with corn sugar. Which is the better white vinegar??? ;)
