I did a science project on this subject. The answer simply is you can substitute vinegar for any acid, but it may alter the taste and the fluffiness of the cake. Coffee works pretty well and tastes great.

∙ 14y agoAccording to tips I found by a pastry chef online, you can substitute lemon juice. The acid in both vinegar and lemon juice helps to keep the gluten strands in the dough from getting too long, which makes the pie dough "tough." If you don't have lemons, then another vinegar would work. I wouldn't recommend balsamic, but white wine or apple cider vinegars should do nicely.
Personally, I never use it in my pie crust. My mother taught me a straight shortening recipe we've used for years and I've always had tender flaky pie crusts, never soggy.

Also, lard if animal fat doesn't bother you.
