Simple acids do not do much of anything to sugar. Sugar's not acidic, and not basic, so acids do not react with it, helping it to dissolve. The few acids that do react with it tend to ruin it irreversibly, and that is not dissolving, that is destroying. Vinegar is not one of those. Nor is Hydrochloric acid. And they do that by forcibly adding oxygen or extracting water, not by acidity: which is donating H+ ions.

acetic acid and alcohol each have only one OH group. If each OH group in sugar H-bonds to a vinegar molecule, each such molecule is no longer able to H-bond with the rest of the solvent bath. Which, for store-bought 5% vinegar, is 95% water, and wants only H-bonds.
