It really depends on the recipe. Malt vinegar as a much more distinct (and stronger) taste. It is also a dark brown. If you are making something like cole slaw, it will turn the color of the dish to a murky tan. Used in other recipes, such as fish, it is likely to be just fine.
I use white vinegar for glass and windows
but I picked up the wrong vinegar it was malt white vinegar
