Makgeolli vinegar (makgeolli-sikcho) and Korean rice vinegars막걸리식초
Makgeolli vinegar is Korean rice wine soured into vinegar. In the lab studies read here the wine is seeded with acetic bacteria and shaken warm until the alcohol has turned to acetic acid, at 30 °C for about 17–20 days, reaching about 4 % total acid, close to the Korean minimum for fermented vinegar. One study diluted the wine to 6 % ethanol first.
To bring the wine to about 6 % ethanol before acetification[park2010]

Makgeolli vinegar is Korean rice wine soured into vinegar. In the lab studies read here the wine is seeded with acetic bacteria and shaken warm until the alcohol has turned to acetic acid, at 30 °C for about 17–20 days, reaching about 4 % total acid, close to the Korean minimum for fermented vinegar. One study diluted the wine to 6 % ethanol first. Made in 4 steps over 17 days – 20 days. The longest step, acetic fermentation in warm, aerated conditions, takes 17–20 days (Park C.-S 2010) and runs at 30 °C (Park C.-S 2010). Acetobacter pasteurianus does most of the fermenting.
Makgeolli is drunk young, while makgeolli vinegar takes the same rice wine on to a second, acetic stage that needs air and about 17–20 days at 30 °C in lab studies [park2010, lee2017]. The commercial Korean grain vinegars in one survey were made from an alcoholic drink of brown and white rice and nuruk [kvin2025].
Brown rice vinegar (hyeonmi sikcho)Made from brown rice wine; one study used germinated brown rice with 10–50 % red pepper [park2010].
Makgeolli seed vinegar (jongcho)A rice wine vinegar made with a selected Acetobacter pasteurianus strain, which the study calls a seed vinegar [lee2017].
Safety
The Korea Food Code sets a minimum total acid of 4 % for fermented vinegar (2.6 % for persimmon vinegar) [kvin2025].
The Encyclopedia of Korean Culture (Kim Chan-jo, 1995) says it is not known when Koreans began to use vinegar, and that vinegar probably arose together with alcoholic drinks. It names the Joseon text Gosa chwaryo as the first with a vinegar method, a barley vinegar, and quotes a Gyuhap chongseo recipe that sours roasted nuruk powder in water with steamed glutinous rice in a sealed jar left in the sun [ek-sikcho].
