Probably nothing since vinegar is a dilute concentration of acetic acid...However if you had pure acetic acid & ethanol the two would react to form an ester called ethyl acetate at room temperature:
CH3CH2OH (ethanol) + CH3COOH (acetic acid) <==> CH3COOCH2CH3 (ethyl acetate) + H2O
However since it is an equilibrium reaction you'd have a mixture of the products & reactants & would need to separate the mixture. Under the presence of an acid catalyst (such as sulfuric acid) & continuously removing the water you can increase the yield of ethyl acetate.
When ethanol is mixed with vinegar, the ethanol will react with the acetic acid in vinegar to form ethyl acetate, which is a sweet-smelling ester compound. This reaction can be catalyzed by an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid. The resulting mixture may have a fruity odor due to the formation of ethyl acetate.
Ethanol will directly dissolve in water. So, as any bartender will attest, if you want to mix water and ethanol, pour one into the other and stir.

What happens when you mix vinegar and iodine?
When vinegar and iodine are mixed together, a chemical reaction occurs that results in the release of iodine gas. The reaction between the acetic acid in vinegar and the iodine causes the iodine to evaporate, creating a purple vapor. This reaction is often used as a demonstration of chemical reactions in educational settings.
What happens when you put frozen ethanol into liquid ethanol?
When you put frozen ethanol into liquid ethanol, the frozen ethanol will begin to melt and mix with the liquid ethanol. Both states of ethanol will reach an equilibrium temperature, and the frozen ethanol will ultimately dissolve into the liquid ethanol to form a homogeneous solution.
Does candle wax dissolve in ethanol?
Yes, candle wax does dissolve in ethanol. Ethanol is a good solvent for many organic compounds, including wax. It can break down the wax molecules and create a solution when mixed together.

What happens when mix cornstarch with vinegar?
When cornstarch is mixed with vinegar, it makes a cloudy solution. It cannot dissolve in the vinegar, so it creates a liquid that has cornstarch particles floating in it turning the liquid cloudy.
Is vinegar an enzyme?
No, vinegar is not an enzyme. Enzymes are almost always proteins. Vinegar is an acid that is made from the fermentation of ethanol.
What happens when vinegar is mixed into melted chocolate?
When vinegar is mixed into melted chocolate, it can cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy or lumpy. This is due to the interaction between the vinegar and the chocolate, which disrupts the smooth texture of the chocolate. It is best to avoid mixing vinegar with melted chocolate to prevent this from happening.
What happens when basalt is mixed with vinegar?

What microbes are in vinegar?
Acetic acid bacteria oxidizes ethanol to create vinegar i think x
What colour do one get when ethanol is mixed with fat?
When ethanol is mixed with fat, the color may become cloudy or opaque, but there would not be a distinct color change as ethanol and fat are both colorless. The appearance may depend on the concentration and types of fat and ethanol being mixed.
