Every kind of vinegar contains a very small quantity of alcohol, industrial vinegar makers use an accelerated oxygenation process that converts almost all the alcohol in the wine into acetic acid in less than 24 hours.
If you make your own white wine vinegar, and you use it soon after adding a complement of white wine, it may contain a bit more alcohol, as the traditional process takes about 3 weeks to complete.
Since the 80s, French vinegars are regulated as below:
- Vinegar not from wine (cider, alcohol): less than 0.5% of alcohol
- Vinegar from wine: less than 1.5% of alcohol
- Vinegar from fortified wine (Banyuls): less than 3% of alcohol
Since the early 1900s and until the 80s, French red wine vinegar was mandated to contain at least 6% of alcohol, as a way to use the overproduction of wine.
The US FDA does not regulate the amount of alcohol in vinegar, only the minimum amount of acetic acid (4%.)
White wine vinegar has a very limited use anyway, like for a beurre blanc (a butter sauce for fish) or some recipes to bake fish. In both cases, it is cooked and all the traces of alcohol are the first to evaporate.
For a traditional French dressing (vinaigrette), only aged red wine vinegar should be used. Industrial vinegar is much too acidic, overpowering and one-note.

No, it does not have any remaining alcohol. Would they really sell something with that much alcohol without checking ID? This is my opinion.

Vinegar of any type - white grain, cider, sherry, wine, etc - results from the oxidation of alcohol molecules. Acetic acid (vinegar) molecules are no longer ethyl alcohol molecules. I suppose some homemade vinegar which hadn't completed the oxidation could contain a minute amount of alcohol.

NO. red wine vinegar has no alcohol in it. It is not fit to drink. Red wine can be cooked with and drank. The alcohol with cook off when heated, but the flavor will remain.

Experiment with substitutions, you could create something great!

No, White vinegar is plain Acetic acid in water, but either as a simple chemical mix (usually very cheap or cleaning grade vinegar) or through fermentation of distilled alcohol (akin to Vodka).

As such White vinegar has a simple acidic taste, whilst White Wine vinegar retains much of its original White wine taste, with its alcohol replaced by the Acetic acid of vinegar.
