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.
