Quoting myself:

Here is all the not commented content of the /etc/sudoers:

Defaults always_set_home
Defaults env_reset
# And a long list of LC_* allowed env vars:
Defaults env_keep = "LANG LC_* ... LINGUAS XDG_SESSION_COOKIE"

Defaults targetpw   # ask for the password of the target user i.e. root
ALL<--->ALL=(ALL) ALL   # WARNING! Only use this together with 'Defaults
targetpw'!
root<-->ALL=(ALL) ALL


Explains everything you see from 'sudo wine winecfg'.
