The picture potrays the bottle top as red in color as opposed to gold; is it red or gold? Is it made of a different material as to sustain vinegar?

Top on mine is gold metal, but I've had mine well over a year. I don't use mine, because the top won't turn to open or twist to seal. It stays in what appears to be the open position. When it pours, the oil comes out in slow drops from the spout but also dribbles out from the edges. I think my top is defective as others give it good reviews. Should have returned it, but kept thinking I'd break the code and get it to work. Never have.

The top on mine is a gold color, however, I purchased mine about a year ago, so they may have changed the lid. My lid is also very good at staying in place and not leaking.

It is red, exactly as the picture - I have two of them - one I have used for two years about 7 hrs daily and the other one just in case the first one broke....but so far no need to use the second one. Excellent product!

It appears to have just an oiled finish. I believe it could be stained. They don't recommend the top be stained or varnished, just use mineral oil on the top.

Gold with Amber. the lid opens on the side. Just like the bottle at Neiman Marcus.

The spigot has some alloy material on it. If you can age alcohol and its fine I see no reason vinegar would be a problem.

Hi - yes, it is truly red. Maybe a cherry red, with black piping on the edges.

I think it is a bright ruby red. It is not a garnet/wine or an orange/red but a true bright red.

It is more of a cherry red than a burgundy. However the brushed metal back is more grey/pink.

I wouldn't say it is 'apple red' but more burgundy red, definitely not pink-ish.

It is really tomato red. Also the more you live on it the more it takes on the characteristics of real leather. Happy with it.

It is a red color but not a true red. Maybe more like barn red? I hope that helps.

I keep Kombucha and vinegar in it. I've had it for about 4 years. I have NEVER seen rust. I'm very confused as to why anyone else would see rust, but I don't, especially when Vinegar is so acidic and corrosive.

It is made of acrylic and is very easy to clean. It really enhances the wine taste. Very similar to decanting through a wine strainer and letting it breathe for half an hour. Very happy with the purchase. In fact I have purchased 5 more as Christmas gifts.

It is definitely a gold gold not a yellow gold I think it has more brown in it if that helps! It is really pretty!

marcia: it's a true red but sort of vintage (touch of brown) but NOT terracotta in any respect...it's a muted red but definitely RED. i believe it does have rubber around the lid (it's in storage while i'm building new house) but i would remember if it didn't have rubber 'cause i wouldn't have liked it. kitty

The color is a deeper red NOT cherry red bright or orange red. Not wine either but more an earth toned red, brown undertones to it I guess is how I would describe it. I didn't want bright red either.
