"Typical household vinegar is a 4% to 6% (by weight) solution of acetic acid (CH3C00H) in water. The addition of impurities to water raises the boiling point. For the concentration of household vinegar, the boiling point is about 100.6 degrees Celsius, or about 213 degrees F. You can expect higher concentrations of acetic acid to increase the boiling point even more. Diluting the vinegar will bring the boiling point closer to that of pure water. Additional substances mixed in with the vinegar may change its boiling point by small amounts, but only for the dissolved substances, not ones in suspension."

Pure acetic acid (of which vinegar is a dilute solution) has a boiling point of 118 C (244 F).
