Cook the Sauce - In a medium skillet or saucepan, add hot sauce, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk to combine.
Bring sauce to a simmer over medium heat until mixture is hot and begins to bubble, about 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
