While I know the vinegar to use for cleaning isn’t balsamic, raspberry, or red wine vinegar, I always thought white distilled vinegar (and occasionally apple cider vinegar), was cleaning vinegar.

If you're fond of making barbecue sauce with white wine vinegar, opt for a Riesling ... To recreate sweet, spicy, smoky raspberry ribs with a boozy twist, go with a splash of Zinfandel.
