Obviously, I know how to titrate against alkali... but, other 
acids present from the production of vinegar (specifically, 
white wine vinegar) must be taken into consideration.
Any ideas how I could take them out of the argument for my 
titration, or any other suggestions?
Thank you for your time,
Ron Stewart
