Is there a difference between red wine vinegar and red wine vinaigrette?

Yes, red wine vinegar is fermented red wine that turns into vinegar. Meanwhile, red wine vinaigrette is a red wine vinegar dressing that combines red wine vinegar with other ingredients, most often as oil, honey (or maple syrup), and seasonings.

What is the ratio of oil to red wine vinegar?

Most vinaigrette recipes have a ratio of three parts oil to one part vinegar or another acid like lemon juice or mustard (3:1). I prefer a ratio of one part oil to one part acid (2:1) for slightly tangier flavor.
