Vinegar is close to water in density, so a cup weighs about 239 grams. White, cider, wine and malt vinegars all weigh essentially the same; what differs is acidity and flavour. In baking, its acid reacts with baking soda for lift.

Vinegar: US, metric & UK cups compared
A “cup” isn’t the same size everywhere, so 1 cup of vinegar weighs a different number of grams depending on which cup your recipe uses. The US cup is 236.6 ml, while Australia, New Zealand, Canada and modern UK recipes use a 250 ml metric cup. Here’s 1 cup of vinegar in each:
| Cup standard | Size | 1 cup vinegar | Used in |
|---|---|---|---|
| US cup | 237 ml | 239 g | United States (most US recipe sites) |
| Metric cup | 250 ml | 253 g | Australia, NZ, Canada & modern UK |
| UK imperial cup | 284 ml | 287 g | Older British recipes |
| Japanese cup | 200 ml | 202 g | Japan |
Unless a recipe says otherwise, US recipes mean the US cup and Australian/UK recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. The tables higher up this page use the US cup.

How to measure vinegar accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh vinegar on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of vinegar weighs about 239 grams (8.43 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts vinegar and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Standard vinegars sit around 5% acidity; if a recipe relies on the acid (for example to activate baking soda), don't substitute a much milder or stronger vinegar.
