Brandy is good - worked for Nelsons body, so should be ok in the home. Actually, pickling is a process that simply preserves the item in a sterile meduim. White vingear will not colour foodstuffs, others such as a wine or cider vinegar will add a flavour as well as some colour.
You can use brine as well as ursula says. If you are making pickles at home, remember that pickles are acid so don't store in iron or copper pots, etc. Use a jar or enamel. All the air must be out of the pot as well otherwise the pickle will spoil, and the jars have to be sterilised before use. Lots of books on the subject around as well as websites with recipes.
