Can white wine vinegar be used in place of red wine vinegar?

[ChristopherK]

In this application, you can successfully substitute white vinegar for red wine vinegar, but DO NOT leave it out......There's a reason it calls for this in the mixture of the onion marmalade.....

BTW, I don't know if you have a source to red onions, but they make the BEST "onion jam" [I use it atop grilled steaks] as the flavor profile is remarkedly different than using just white or yellow onions.....Hope this helps!!! Enjoy!!

I'm following this recipe for onion marmalade (http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1404/red-onion-marmalade) and haven't got any red wine vinegar in the cupboard. Can white wine vinegar be used instead, or should i leave it out altogether?
Many thanks!

Yes, just slightly modify it
In your case, i would slightly reduce the amount of vinigar and add a pinch of sugar

Yes, it won't taste much different to red.

yes you can, but white wine vinegar is milder than red wine vinegar... if you're canning/preserving just make sure the acidity is the same.
