Non-fermented vinegar substitute for Dijon mustard

My allergies prevent me from consuming yeast, alcoholic beverages and vinegar. I often substitute lemon juice for vinegar, but this does not always work. I'm trying to find an allergy-free recipe for homemade dijon mustard. Any suggestions?

Another allergy sufferer claims you can swap in pure vitamin C & water for the vinegar. It wouldn't be Dijon mustard, which strongly depends on the flavor of white wine, but it could be a strong, fine-grained mustard.

If the flavor isn't quite right, you can also experiment with citric acid crystals (sour salt), or a mix. For a bit more wine flavor, consider adding a small amount of white grape juice. Saba (concentrated unfermented grape must) would be even better, although it's difficult to find in some countries.
