No, vinegar (acetic acid) and oil are not soluble in each other because they are two immiscible substances. Vinegar is polar and water-soluble, whereas oil is nonpolar and hydrophobic.

Why do you have to shake oil and vinegar salad dressing?

Oil and vinegar do not mix, which is to say, they are not mutually soluble. When you put the two of these together in one container, you get two separate layers; the vinegar on the bottom and the oil floating on top. So if you would like to have a mixture of oil and vinegar on your salad, you have to shake the bottle first. Because one is water based and one is oil based so they don't form a combined solution. You have to shake them to form an emulsion of small droplets of oil susoended in the vinegar. If you didn't shake them they would remain as two separate liquids.

Is vinegar soluble or insoluble to water?

The solvent is usually the one that is present in large amount. So, if you had 1 ml vinegar and 10 ml water, then water is the solvent. If you have 1 ml water and 10 ml vinegar, then vinegar is the solvent. But recall that vinegar itself has water as the solvent, so it gets confusing.
