The flavor will probably be just fine. No doubt it's too late for this idea, but you could also remove half or so of the braising liquid and replace with a similar amount of chicken stock, beef stock or diluted bouillon.
I'm sure there's a lot of great flavor in the liquid you have, though, so you really don't want to waste that by essentially starting over with all new liquid.

Honestly there are a lot of braised short rib recipes that call for vinegar as part of the braising liquid. One of my favorites uses a blend of red wine and balsamic vinegar, and there's another that calls for sherry vinegar. I would suggest you simply give your braising liquid a quick taste. If it is a bit sharp for your taste, you can counter that with a bit of sugar, honey, or other sweetener. You can also convert some of the vinegar's acidity with a pinch of baking soda- just be careful not to use more than 1/8 teaspoon or so, because unreacted soda will taste soapy. Who knows- it might just turn out tasty as it is, and you will have a new recipe in your repertoire.

Not really. They'll probably still be good, however, you don't really want to make a brand new braising liquid for them two hours into the cook.
