Not quite the same but pretty similar. Vinegar mother is easy to make, next time you have some left over red wine stick a cork in it and put in in a dark place. The key is not having any light hit it. Once it's developed a bit put it in a large mouth container and stick cheesecloth on the lid. Just feed it every couple months with almost expired fruit and it will keep growing. The liquid on top is produced by the mother a pure vinegar.
The large glass lemonade pitchers with the spout at the bottom are good for filtering the vinegar for use.
It looks a lot like the Kombucha Mother but you just leave it alone and dont have to add anything to it.
