Wine, when left exposed to air and light will eventually turn to vinegar. The ethanol (alchohol) oxidizes and becomes acetic acid. Sherry vinegar is vinegar made from Sherry wine. This oxidation process explains why red wines are best right after the bottle is opened, and decline in quality over a relatively short period of time thereafter. White wines are refrigerated, which retards the oxidation process after opening.
