Most Tuscan spots, even the touristy ones with red-and-white-checkered tablecloths and wicker Chianti bottles, can hit the spot with a sloppy bowl of pasta and acetous table wine.

The act of making acetous or sour; the process of converting, or of becoming converted, into vinegar.

It is medicinally superior to gum acacia, as it does not undergo acetous fermentation.

Brandy has been made from ripe gooseberries by distillation; by exposing the juice with sugar to the acetous fermentation a good vinegar may be obtained.

The principal of the vegetable acids are the acetous and the tartareous.
