Vinegar is actually made from wine thats stored a certain way and left for a period of time. So it makes sense that if the companies have the facilities to make wine, they could easily make vinegar.

Only because something went wrong in the fermenting process
and the wine turned to vinegar.

Exposed to the air the fruit will turn to vinegar. Sealed with air locks the juice ferments and develops alcohol. The best fruit is selected for wine the other makes good vinegar. similar equipment and materials are used for both so it makes sense.

Vinegar is "a bitter liquid won by skill of acetic fermentation of dilute alcoholic drinks." White vinegar, in any different case user-friendly as distilled white vinegar, is created from distilled alchohol. White wine vinegar is created from white wine. confident, you are able to replace white wine vinegar for distilled white vinegar in cooking. the flavour would be extremely distinctive, which will or won't make a distinction, reckoning on the recipe.

Exposure to oxygen and the acetobacter bacteria is what converts wine to vinegar. Acetobacter can be floating in the air or carried via fruit flies. The bacteria require oxygen and actually consume the alcohol and the process converts the alcohol to acetic acid...the acidity in vinegar is roughly proportional to the level of alcohol in the brew being converted (cider, wine, etc.) Typically, though, commercial vinegar is cultivated using "vinegar mother" which is a jelly like colony of acetobacter that forms at the top of the brew. Using this from batch to batch instead of wild strains of bacteria insure that the quality and characteristics are consistent from batch to batch.

Vinegar made from grapes develops when ferments too much and goes sour. Vinegar is also made by fermenting other foods.

If wine isn't properly stored then it turns to vinegar

These people are all wrong, when you ferment wine you must add yeast that eats the sugar in the grapes and produces alcohol. Vinegar is made when you don't add yeast, so instead of fermenting it turns to vinegar.

grapes will ferment to vinegar without the alcohol of course
