½ cup vinegar in grams
½ cup of vinegar = 120 grams · 4.22 oz · 8 tbsp

Based on a measured density of 239 g per US cup (236.6 ml), poured level rather than to the brim. Last reviewed .
How ½ cup of vinegar works out
One US cup of vinegar weighs 239 grams, so multiply by 0.5 to get half a cup: 239 × 0.5 = 120 g. In the other direction, 120 g of vinegar divided by 239 brings you back to ½ cup.
If you have no scales, ½ cup is 8 level tablespoons of vinegar (24 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 126 g.
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.
