Acetic Acid is Vinegar. It is made similarly to making alcohol, by FERMINTATION. One or more vegetable products, in a water solution, is innoculated [or exposed to] one of many bactera which digest the sugars in the mix, and excrete acetic acid. This MUST occur in an aerobic [WITH the presense of Oxygen] enviroment in order to get acetic acid. For alcohol, the environment MUST be anerobic[without Oxygen]
