No, there is no alcohol in commercial vinegar.

It actually depends what vinegar you mean. There's white wine vinegar, malt vinegar etc etc All of which are "sold in shops." However ALL vinegars via the means they are made have at least trace amounts of alcohol in it. This is not in almost all cases enough to get drunk by though or something you should worry about when using.

Does sherry wine vinegar have alcohol in it?

Vinegar of any type - white grain, cider, sherry, wine, etc - results from the oxidation of alcohol molecules. Acetic acid (vinegar) molecules are no longer ethyl alcohol molecules. I suppose some homemade vinegar which hadn't completed the oxidation could contain a minute amount of alcohol.

What vinegar is made from?

Vinegar can be made from any fruit, or from any material containing sugar. There are two processes in making vinegar. The first is called alcoholic fermentation, when yeasts change natural sugars to alcohol. During the second process, a group of bacteria, called acetobacter, converts the alcohol portion to acid.

Does wine vinegar have alcohol in it?

Every kind of vinegar contains a very small quantity of alcohol, industrial vinegar makers use an accelerated oxygenation process that converts almost all the alcohol in the wine into acetic acid in less than 24 hours.If you make your own white wine vinegar, and you use it soon after adding a complement of white wine, it may contain a bit more alcohol, as the traditional process takes about 3 weeks to complete.Since the 80s, French vinegars are regulated as below:- Vinegar not from wine (cider, alcohol): less than 0.5% of alcohol- Vinegar from wine: less than 1.5% of alcohol- Vinegar from fortified wine (Banyuls): less than 3% of alcoholSince the early 1900s and until the 80s, French red wine vinegar was mandated to contain at least 6% of alcohol, as a way to use the overproduction of wine.The US FDA does not regulate the amount of alcohol in vinegar, only the minimum amount of acetic acid (4%.)White wine vinegar has a very limited use anyway, like for a beurre blanc (a butter sauce for fish) or some recipes to bake fish. In both cases, it is cooked and all the traces of alcohol are the first to evaporate.For a traditional French dressing (vinaigrette), only aged red wine vinegar should be used. Industrial vinegar is much too acidic, overpowering and one-note.Every kind of vinegar contains a very small quantity of alcohol, industrial vinegar makers use an accelerated oxygenation process that converts almost all the alcohol in the wine into acetic acid in less than 24 hours.If you make your own white wine vinegar, and you use it soon after adding a complement of white wine, it may contain a bit more alcohol, as the traditional process takes about 3 weeks to complete.Since the 80s, French vinegars are regulated as below:- Vinegar not from wine (cider, alcohol): less than 0.5% of alcohol- Vinegar from wine: less than 1.5% of alcohol- Vinegar from fortified wine (Banyuls): less than 3% of alcoholSince the early 1900s and until the 80s, French red wine vinegar was mandated to contain at least 6% of alcohol, as a way to use the overproduction of wine.The US FDA does not regulate the amount of alcohol in vinegar, only the minimum amount of acetic acid (4%.)White wine vinegar has a very limited use anyway, like for a beurre blanc (a butter sauce for fish) or some recipes to bake fish.
