First, on the uses of vinegar, I have to say that I am well aware of all 
the great uses for the stuff.  What I meant to say is that I don't know

I suppose they use apple cider vinegar just for the flavor.  I like the 
flavor of the dill and garlic from pickle juice.  It really does quench 
thirst.
