Champagne Vinegar vs White Wine Vinegar

My mother in law gave me a Oster hand blender for Christmas. On the box was a recipe for Raspberry Vingerette Dressing. After I picked up my share from our local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)farm I made the decision to pick up some raspberries at the store and try out the new dressing with my wonderful lettuce varietes colored peppers cauliflower, etc.

My mistake was thinking I could substitute White Wine Vinegar for Champagne Vinegar. This is NOT a good substitution. DO NOT DO IT!! Thankfully I tried it before I placed it on my wonderful fresh salad.

I just looked on www.foodsubs.com and it actually says that you can use this subsitution but that white wine vinegar is not as mild. Do as you wish, but I personally advise against it.
