Detailed Solution

Wine can become sour when it comes into contact with acetic acid bacteria like Acetobacter sp., Mycoderma aceti and Gluconobacter sp., these microbes are aerobic bacteria. Wine's alcohol is converted by these microbes into acetic acid in the presence of oxygen, which gives the beverage a vinegar-like flavour.
