Vinegar of any type - white grain, cider, sherry, wine, etc - results from the oxidation of alcohol molecules. Acetic acid (vinegar) molecules are no longer ethyl alcohol molecules. I suppose some homemade vinegar which hadn't completed the oxidation could contain a minute amount of alcohol.

Wine, when left exposed to air and light will eventually turn to vinegar. The ethanol (alchohol) oxidizes and becomes acetic acid. Sherry vinegar is vinegar made from Sherry wine.
