Absolutely pure water is not a good conductor. However, water is seldom pure and has stuff dissolved in it. In these circumstances water does conduct electricity quite well.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yes,but water itself contains 1*10-7 mol/Liter positivly charged H+ and the same amount of negativly charged HO- (ph 7) leading to a conductivity of aprocimatly 0,055 µSiemens/cm (18,2 MOhm )for pure Water at 25 °C (compared with rainwater 35 - 100 µSiemens/cm dependent on Air Polution, River (Rhein Germany ) 300 - 745 µSiemens/cm ,Sea 42 000µSiemens/cm.Therefore i conclude that this is partially correct,depending on variables.

Vinegar is good or bad conductor?

Vinegar is a poor conductor of electricity because it does not contain free ions that can carry an electric current. It is primarily composed of water and acetic acid, which are not conducive to conducting electricity.
