No, because it reacts with the acetic acid in vinegar.

NaHCO3 + CH3COOH -> CO2 + CH3COONa +H2O

or, in words, sodium bicarbonate plus acetic acid yields carbon dioxide plus sodium acetate plus water.

Bicarbonate itself is not a substance, it is a negative ion that needs a positive ion to balance its charge.

Many bicarbonates are soluble. including sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), potassium bicarbonate, and calcium bicarbonate.

Sodium bicarbonate can be separated by water by simply evaporating the water away. Vinegar is already a solution of acetic acid in water. They can be separated by fractional distillation. Note that concentrated acetic acid can cause chemical burns.
