I think wine that smells and tastes like vinegar, it means the wine is old and is no longer suitable for drinking. Maybe you can go to a wine store or something similiar and see if they have any suggestions on what type of wine that you would like. Good luck to ya:)

My first question would be, if they all smell and taste like vinegar - are you storing it properly. Wines should not be stored in an area where there are temperature fluctuations. This will cause wine to go off quicker than normal which will give a vinegar smell and taste to it.
If that's not the problem, and it still smells and tastes bad to you, than your mouth and nose are telling you that it wants sweeter wines. You could try some sweet fruit wines first to get accustomed to the difference but there's no real limit (except for maybe your budget) when it comes to sweet wines. Aside from the sweet fruit wines, also look for late harvest wines and Icewines.

If it tastes like vinegar, it's gone bad. If you can't tell the difference between a good (meaning not spoiled) wine and vinegar, then perhaps wine just isn't for you.
If you want an inexpensive wine, try Yellow Tail, Bogle, or Kendal Jackson...all their varietals (cabernet, merlot, chardonnay, etc) are all decent, though not exceptional...but definitely not at all like vinegar. If any of these still taste like vinegar, don't waste your time or money on wine.

Try a desert wine, preferably a white varietal like, muscat, late harvest riesling-peach and honey notes, sometimes an accent of citrus (infact, you might even like a regular riesling or a Gewurztraminer-floral), Apple Ice wine, Sauterens.
Red wines have tanins in it, which makes your mouth pucker, (which I'm probably thinking is giving you the vinegar sensation). If not-stay away fromwines which look kind of rust in color as they have aged and lost their fruit-usually. If you do like red wine, try a lighter style pinot noir (the '05's from California are really nice) I believe J makes a lighter style. Also,try Black Muscat (sweet) or a Aleatico-Viansa Winery has a couple of wines which use this varietal, Pacimo is the name of the wine. It can be served cellar or slightly chilled. Athena Dolcetto is another one.
The colder the tempurature of the wine, the more bad qualities are hidden.
Good luck.

It sounds like your wine has been subject to too much heat. If it taste that bad throw it way or you'll be throwing it up! Try a good brand name to start just so you can see what wine should taste good. Money isn't everything it all about what you like. But start with a better brand you won't regret it.

I have Gato ***** cabernet sauvignon. Not the greatest wine in the world, but I don't think it tastes like vinegar at all!

"Mountain Rhine Wine," made by Almaden. It is a sweet tasting wine without any bitter taste. I love it. Just be cautious when you drink it because its high alcohol volume....it can sneak up on you and get you very, very tipsy!!
