How did ACETIC turn into CARTE (and then CLARET)?

Vinegar into wine in two stages...

Oops.

It's my fault - I fell into the very error I described above: replying to the last post on a page, never noticing that there were four after it that I hadn't seen, Apologies to all I may have inadvertently pre-empted.
