I think the problem with both, ethanol and acetic acid, vinegar, is that the carbon chain isn't long enough. There are reactions to combine carbon chains and lengthen them, but I don't know if they would be cheap enough to compete with what nature does for you in the form of naturally occurring oils.
Spain has a lot of other natural oils. They are one of the world's largest producers of olives, several different nuts, and the last time I visited, there were huge fields of sunflowers. Derek W.
