Acetic Acid is Vinegar. It is made similarly to making alcohol, by FERMINTATION. One or more vegetable products, in a water solution, is innoculated [or exposed to] one of many bactera which digest the sugars in the mix, and excrete acetic acid. This MUST occur in an aerobic [WITH the presense of Oxygen] enviroment in order to get acetic acid.

For alcohol, the environment MUST be anerobic [without Oxygen]

Acetic acid comes from wine or vinegar, and is not present in any fruit.

One of the main types of acid found in the fruit is citric acid, found in limes, lemons, Oranges and other citrus fruits.
