Vinegar is the last cycle of a sugar molecules life. It begins as sugar, ferments and becomes alcohol. It then ages to become vinegar. In all three cycles, there is no expiration date. So, unless it becomes contaminated, it should have an unlimited shelf life.

Per the Vinegar Institute: The Vinegar Institute conducted studies to find out and confirmed that vinegar's shelf life is almost indefinite. Because of its acid nature, vinegar is self-preserving and does not need refrigeration. White distilled vinegar will remain virtually unchanged over an extended period of time. And, while some changes can be observed in other types of vinegars, such as color changes or the development of a haze or sediment, this is only an aesthetic change. The product can still be used and enjoyed with confidence.

Vinegar contains acetic acid. The acidic nature of vinegar allows it to have an indefinite shelf life.

What vinegar can you susstitute for Cider Vinegar?

Malt vinegar, white wine vinegar, white spirit vinegar. Spirit vinegar doesn't taste as good as any of the brewed vinegars. The closest substitute is probably white wine vinegar mixed with an equal quantity of apple juice. Failing that, mix apple juice with malt vinegar. Red wine vinegar would give a taste that you might not want.
