The "Libro de Agricultura" (1551) by Gabriel Alonso de Herrera has 
instructions for making vinegar.  The simplest method is to place wine in a 
vessel that previously contained vinegar, and leave it in the sun (or a warm 
place).

The book is online, but it's page images of the original, in untranslated 
Spanish.
