Vinegar in a marinade or when cooking works pretty much the same as wine. Except that in the right circumstances it gets slightly sweet when you cook it.

What does wine do though? For what I understand, it doesn’t tenderize, unless you’re marinading for a very very short time.
Or people who like sandwiches -_^
I generally marinate overnight or up to 24 hrs. Don’t know if it tenderizes the meat - I add it for flavor.
Does it really penetrate the meat? I heard marinades only go a few cm into meat, so it’s not really doing much.
