Question:

The vingarette used in salads, is this haraam? It contains balsamic vinegar which I think is white wine spirit, however these are in small synthetic amounts, so does the same ruling as using an alcohol based cream which is permissable apply?

Answer:

Provided it is synthetic or is not made from wheat, barley, dates and grapes and its content level does not lead to drunkeness it is permitted.
