No, alcohol does not remain after the conversion to vinegar.

The way vinegar is made is by putting a bacteria (acetobacter) into the wine and allowing it to convert the alcohol into acetic acid. The bacteria only does this in the presence of oxygen, which means that the fermentation vessel must be open to the air. In the end, either the bacteria will convert all the alcohol, or it will naturally evaporate from the wine into the air. The process can take weeks or months, so pretty much no alcohol remains.

Most likely some small amount remains. While the acetobacter (vinegar making bacteria) eat the alcohol to make the acetic acid, it is likely they do not consume every molecule. I would call the 800 number on a bottle of vinegar and ask the manufacturer. They most likely measure the remaining level of alcohol, since the more that is converted to acid, the more efficient and cost-effective the process.
