Sauerkraut is faux pas

Ok, with the weather getting chilly, my brain gives out a signal screaming for comfort food. A very common Russian винегрет would do it. Nor problem making it, really, IF you manage to find sauerkraut. Seems like the closest place where you can get is Alsace! After a 2-hour treasure hunt I found it in a HUGE supermarket... It was real sauerkraut... in Riesling...

I guess that's the only way you'd make French eat it!
