Sauerkrauts are the first example that the article makes! Well, I hadn't read it yet :-) Duh… what a smart remark! Sauerkrauts are the first example that the article makes!

I THINK that this is to some extent the process used with sauerkrauts, or at least ONE of the possible processes. In theory, they are soaked in white wine and left aside until fermentation does its course, but I noticed that some commercial packages will also include "lactic acid". If anything, it should mellow the flavour. Consider that red wine contains lactic acid since it undergoes a process called malolactic fermentation in which malic acid is turned into lactic acid, slightly increasing its pH value along the way. So, you probably already know how lactic acid tastes in a place where you would not expect it! :-) I would hate to say something wrong, but you know what?
