No, vinegar will only inhibit enzymatic 'browning' of polyphenols in appel juice for example. This inhibition will only reduce 'oxidation reaction' speed, not preventing or excluding it.

Yes it is. For example, when in contact with Cu(+2), it will react to be Cu(0) (suffering an oxidation), therefore, Acetic acid, also known as vinegar or CH3COOH, IS an oxidizing agent, and Copper will be the reducing agent.

I belive the answer your looking for is Acetic Acid. The acid that causes the stinging feeling that one gets from applying Vinagre to an open wound. Acetic Acid is what causes Vinagre to eat through the patina on copper when applied with salt to the surface of copper implaments.
