Default Chicken caccitore

In the following recipe, what can I use instead of red wine? I have
red wine vinegar.

BTW, what would happen if I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned ones?
Also, I need to reduce the servin serve to 1or 2. Any help?

An easy chicken cacciatore recipe with onion, green pepper, stewed
tomatoes, wine, and oregano.
Cook Time: 55 minutes
Ingredients:

* 1 cup chopped onion
* 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
* 3 medium cloves garlic minced
* 3 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) stewed tomatoes
* 2 teaspoons leaf oregano, crumbled
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
* 1 bay leaf
* 1 chicken, about 3 pounds, cut up
* 3/4 cup dry red wine

Preparation:
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Brown chicken on
all sides in hot oil, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken and drain off

pepper, and minced garlic to hot skillet; sauté until onion is tender.
Stir in tomatoes, wine, oregano, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Add
chicken back to sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and
simmer for about 45 minutes, or until chicken is tender. Discard bay
leaf and serve with hot cooked spaghetti or other pasta.
