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.
Vinegar is made through the fermentation of ethanol alcohol. Any ingredient containing ethanol may be used to make vinegar, including distilled grain alcohol, wine, champagne, beer, cider, and more. Bacteria are used to ferment, or break down, the ethanol into byproducts including acetic acid.
