Harry W. Again, allowable quantities/packaging is a DG matter for the airline to worry about. Your vinegar was presumably picked up by security so an airport issue. Duty is a matter for customs at the arrival airport.
And customs at the arrival airport have a hydrometer on hand to assess the alcoholic content?

The poster talked of transporting it in Coca Cola bottles, down this way retailed in Coca Cola bottles we have petrol, diesel and kerosine, I'd not only suggest that alcohol should be correctly labelled for customs to appropriately assess it but it be a DG issue of an unidentifiable liquid being transported by air in a Caca Cola bottle!
