Combine the white wine vinegar, water, sugar, and 1 tsp salt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add the sliced jalapeños, and let them sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, until slightly softened and bright green-yellow.
