Acetic Acid: CH3COOH tells us the strucuture.

As CH3 is separate from the Carboxide polyatomic anion ( [COOH]- ) it is going to remain unchanged. As we know that COOH has disassociation of an H in water, to form [H3O]++[COO]-. H3O is an acid according to the Lewis, the Arrhenius, and the Bronsted Theories. Therefore, as an acid ionizes in water (to form a cation in aqueous solution and an anion in aqueous solution) it does not matter that acetic acid is organic, because it dilutes all the same.
Rule of thumb: ALL acids ionize in water to form (coefficient)[Cation]X1+(aq)+(coefficient)[Anion]X2-(aq).

So, vinegar is dilute acetic acid and is an organic compound substance.
