Peel and finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press for convenience.
In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic.
While whisking (or with the jar lid securely closed and shaken), slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream to emulsify the mixture.
Add the water to slightly thin the vinaigrette, if desired.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as necessary.
Whisk or shake the vinaigrette again to ensure all the ingredients are fully blended.
Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week. Shake or stir well before each use.
