Fermentation. This is an action by microbes where they turn ethanol to ethanoic acid. For example, vinegar is made from fermented wine.

Acetic Acid.
Acetic acid is a stronger acid. Ethanol is an alcohol which is slightly acidic but usually neutral in nature.
Acetic acid bacteria gains energy from the oxidation of acetic acid and ethanol during the fermentation period. The are found in areas where ethanol is produced by the fermentation of sugars.

If you think to acetic acid this is a weak electrolyte.
The solute in vinegar is acetic acid, which gives vinegar its sour taste and pungent odor. Acetic acid is produced through the fermentation process of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria.
When ethanol is oxidized, it typically smells like acetic acid or vinegar. This is because ethanol is converted into acetic acid during the oxidation process.
Acetic acid/ethanoic acid/CH3COOH
Vinegar's compound name is acetic acid, which is a weak acid resulting from the oxidation of ethanol.
White Vinegar is a liquid substance consisting mainly of acetic acid and water, the acetic acid being produced through the fermentation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria.
