I think it's the other way around; ethanol oxidizes to acetic acid.
Shellsea, you are welcome.
One other note: when using acetic acid ( vinegar in this case) to clean it dissolves precipitated calcium carbonate from abiotic precipitation, coraline algae buildups etc.;as it does so the acid is neutralized in adtion to CO2 weakening it.
