Lingusitics is a bit of an issue here. Cider of course, in the Engish and French language has for thousands of years always meant alcohol made from apples. The Americans, however, not having a fuller grasp of the language, call all fizzy apple drinks cider. So, one can understand the original question because having the word 'cider' in a product is strictly the same as having the word 'vodka' or 'whisky' in the name of a product.However

However, with that issue out of the way, yes in order to make the vinegar the apples have to be first fermented into alcohol but its got to be remembered that in order to turn it into vinegar the next step is to convert that alcohol into acid.....so, no longer alcohol.

Its important not to be too hung up on issues like this otherwise its a slippery slope. I mean where will it end ? After all, our human bodies naturally ferment sugars into alcohol every day inside our bodies. Should we then shun all humans and even ourselves....from ourselves ?

What about white or red wine vinegar? Would an amritdhari be allowed to consume things with that?

You just ignored my answer and basically asked the original question again this time substituting one alcohol with another.

I told you, vinegar is made by converting alcohol into acid. Therefore, it is no longer alcohol.

Meanwhile, while the top half of your body (your mind) debates mundane issues such as whether or not you can consume vinegar, the rest of your body is actually making alcohol inside your body by taking yeast from your gut and using it to covert the sugar from your body into alcohol.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
