Wine vinegars do still contain some level of alcohol. The vinegar taste is actually due to acetic acid, but the chemical transformation is never fully complete just sitting around a kitchen. Vinegar would be much too gross to drink in the quantity it would take to intoxicate anyone.
Actually, rice wine turns into vinegar quiet easily... as a long time professional cook, and long time wine drinker, i can say that wines left out for several weeks do turn to vinegar and the fact of the matter is, this is the exact process that vinegar use to be made hundreds of years ago and still is in smaller type operations.
