Probably nothing since vinegar is a dilute concentration of acetic acid...However if you had pure acetic acid & ethanol the two would react to form an ester called ethyl acetate at room temperature:
CH3CH2OH (ethanol) + CH3COOH (acetic acid) <==> CH3COOCH2CH3 (ethyl acetate) + H2O
However since it is an equilibrium reaction you'd have a mixture of the products & reactants & would need to separate the mixture. Under the presence of an acid catalyst (such as sulfuric acid) & continuously removing the water you can increase the yield of ethyl acetate.

Why does ethanol burn differently than ethanol and water mixed?
the main reason why ethanol burns differently then ethanol and water mix is mainly because when you add the water to the ethanol you are making the ethanol less potent so it will burn weaker.
