Not that this is the same thing, but kombucha, which has a slightly vinegary taste and may share similar properties with apple cider vinegar, has also been known to help with a number of health issues.
I can't speak for joints as I've been riding as long as I've been drinking kombucha, but in the past, whenever I caught a virus (which was often -- weak immune system), I knew I was in for a long haul -- weeks sometimes.
Then, after kombucha (and cycling, and yoga), no sickness. I got flu-like symptoms last week, after a long and stressful plane trip, and I upped my kombucha consumption and the illness only lasted two days. Two days! And I didn't even feel that bad.
The taste, in my opinion, is delicious, so feel free to give it a whirl. I like the synergy's strawberry serenity one.
ETA: a quick google search shows that kombucha is also known to help relieve joint pain.
