During fermentation of grape sugars by yeast much ethanol(alcohol) is anaerobically formed.

During the following (aerobic) vinager process acetic acid is formed out of ethanol which combines partly with some surplus ethanol in an esterfication reaction to ethyl ethanoate (ehyl acetate).

Is Acetate natural?

Acetate can be both natural and synthetic. When referring to cellulose acetate, it is a synthetic material made from wood pulp. However, when referring to ethyl acetate, it is a naturally occurring compound found in fruits and wines.

How can ethyl acetate be made?

Ethyl acetate can be made through a process called esterification, where ethanol and acetic acid react in the presence of a catalyst, typically sulfuric acid. This reaction forms ethyl acetate and water as byproducts. The mixture is then distilled to separate and purify the ethyl acetate.

Is there alcohol in outer space?

Large interstellar clouds of vinegar have been found in space. Alcohol could also be somewhere in the universe.Being the discoverer of interstellar acetic acid (vinegar), I can for certain say that vinegar is a very minor component in these clouds, so the original answer is a bit misleading in that it sounds like vinegar is all these clouds are made of which is quite untrue. In fact, there is only 1 vinegar molecule for every 1 billion diatomic hydrogen molecules in these clouds. In these same clouds both methyl and ethyl alcohol were discovered decades ago. Methanol is actually a relatively abundant molecule in molecular clouds. So short answer, yes.
