Acetic acid
All wines contain very small amount of acetic acid, or vinegar, usually in the range from 0.03 percent to 0.06 percent--and not perceptible to smell or taste. Once table wines reach 0.07 percent or above, a sweet-sour vinegary smell and taste becomes evident. At low levels, acetic acid can enhance the character of a wine, but at higher levels (over 0.1 percent), it can become the dominant flavour and is considered a major flaw. A related substance, ethyl acetate, contributes a nail polish-like smell.
