Solution

The property which is common between vinegar and curd is that they have sour taste.

Explanation:

Vinegar and curd are both chemically acidic substances, and a primary physical property of all acids is that they possess a distinct sour taste. Vinegar tastes sour because it contains acetic acid, while curd tastes sour because it contains lactic acid. Since both items house naturally occurring organic acids, a sour taste profile is the defining characteristic they share.
