Vinegar (from Old French vinaigre, meaning "sour wine") is a sour-tasting liquid made from the oxidation of ethanol in wine, cider, beer, fermented fruit juice, or nearly any other liquid containing alcohol. It can also be made by certain bacteria operating on sugar-water solutions directly, without intermediary conversion to ethanol (see acetic acid). Commercially available vinegar usually has a pH of about 2.4.

Vinegar is an acidic liquid, a product obtained from the fermentation of alcohol. Vinegar is used as a condiment, preservative, cleanser and medicament. Vinegar is sharp in flavour and may be rich, or mellow.
There are many varieties of vinegar known as ‘Wine Vinegars’. These are brewed in wine growing regions and are used for making sauces and salad dressings. Vinegar can be either red or white according to the type of wine that is used in the fermentation process

It comes from something called 'mother of vinegar'. Don't laugh, it's true! look it up if you don't believe me! It is a kind of bacterial culture that forms on a vat of cider or other material containing sugar. Otherwise, it is formed by a fermenting action that turns alcohol into acetic acid.
