I’ve used white vinegar and dish soap to get rid of gnats and fruit flies but will red wine vinegar do the same?

yes it will
Sure, it simulates ripe or rotting fruit, they don’t know the difference.
You need to make a trap, use a 2 L plastic pop bottle.
Cut around below the narrowing kneck, & invert top inside bottom.
Fasten with staples & tape around cut edges, put vinegar & soap in.
The vinegar attracts them, the soapy water overcomes surface tension.
