    When it oxidizes yes iirc. No or ultra low oxygen content means that process is greatly delayed.

          That means it’s an aerobic bacterial process (aerobic - operating in the presence of air, or specifically oxygen in this case). Not oxidation, which is specifically the interaction of oxygen interactions with the molecule to bond preferentially over the existing bonds, “rusting” them in common parlance.

                  Ok. But also - no it doesn’t.

                  “The mother acetifies the wine into vinegar.”

                  Not oxidises. Acetic acid is vinegar, formed from wine by the aerobic action of bacteria.

                    You have to read the sources sources boss.

                    Wine both oxidizes and ferments and both processes play off each other.

                    The question was how is it not bad/vinegar the answer to both is a reduced oxygen environment.
