Why is it masculine?

Vinagres is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "vīnāgrum" (from "vīnum" + "ācer"), and Latin neuter nouns ending in "-um" typically became masculine in Romance languages. The word literally means "sour wine," and the masculine gender was preserved through this regular sound change from Latin to Portuguese.
