You forgot my two favorites, sherry and champagne.

Yes, distilled white vinegar can be made from petroleum. Not all of it
is, though, so it may be hard to determine based on a bottle of the
stuff. On a molecular level, acetic acid is acetic acid, and since
there's nothing, AFAIK, in distilled white vinegar other than acetic
acid and water, I don't worry too much about it.
