    Funny story about that: 

    I wanted to make a salad dressing with red wine vinegar. So I asked
    my ex (physician, also of Italian descent) how to spoil red wine to
    make vinegar. 

    Turned out he excelled at chemistry through med school; he LOVED
    chemistry. After ten minutes of the chemistry of acetic acid and
    electron exchange, etc, I finally asked, "How do you spoil wine to
    make vinegar? How did your mom do it?!" 

    His reply = "She never did...she just added vinegar to the wine."
