as vinegar is made by fermenting ethanol to produce acetic acid that’s why it tastes different but chemically it’s the same.
Citric acid is not Acetic acid. They are two different chemicals. C6H8O7 and CH3COOH.
Acetic acid does not taste like Citric acid.
Vinegar can be produced many ways, a lot of which will flavour it (wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar etc), but pure Acetic acid is just strong vinegar (vinegar is usually a 5% to 20% solution).
