Most are. There are a variety of vinegars available on the market. The more traditional are balsamic, malt, and rice vinegar. In the US, white/distilled vinegar and apple cider vinegar are the biggest sellers, and are used for some food preparation methods, and for cleaning.
All vinegar is made from oxidized ethanol by the means of acetobacters (acetic acid producing bacteria). With all vinegars, the fermentation process is allowed to continue until a mother is formed. The mother is a slimy mat or colony of these acetobacters, and mothers are typically kept and added to other patches to speed up the process.
The sources of various types of vinegar:
- Balsamic Vinegar - wine made from Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes
- Wine Vinegar - any variety of red or white wines
- Malt Vinegar - beer
- Rice Vinegar - rice wine (saki)
- White or Distilled Vinegar - wood alcohol
- Apple Cider Vinegar - fermented apple juice
Keep in mind that all wines (beer included) are derived from fruits. As relates to beer and saki, the fruits used are barley and rice. White vinegar is the only exception to the fruit rules, but vinegar can be made from any fermented product.

What is the proper name for vinegar?
The word "vinegar" derives from the French vin aigre, meaning "sour wine." Its called Acetic acid or Ethanoic acid. Its chemical formula is : CH3COOH or HC2H3O2. - - - - - The proper name for vinegar is vinegar. It consists of roughly 15% acetic acid and 85% water, with a small amount of natural vegetable colorants and volatiles (hence the differences in colours and odours between brown vinegar, white vinegar, cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, etc.) The acid in vinegar is indeed acetic acid; however, 90 percent of all the acetic acid on the market is made in chemical plants. Almost all of that - 83 percent of the total - is made by reacting methanol and carbon monoxide in the formula CH3OH + CO -> CH3COOH The rest is made by oxidizing either acetaldehyde or ethylene. Vinegar is always made by fermenting fruit juices. It is a two-stage process, in which yeasts convert fruit juice to wine, then acetobacter bacteria convert the alcohol in wine to acetic acid. Because many nations' food laws prohibit the use of vinegar in edibles that is not made through the fermentation of fruit juice, they are very careful to only call fruit juice-derived acetic acid "vinegar."
