Prepare the Meat Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork shoulder and pork fat. Add minced garlic, paprika, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Add Vinegar
Stir in the red wine vinegar into the meat mixture. This will add flavor and help with preservation.

Prepare the Casings
