The Othegraven winery was once world-famous, then fell into a deep slumber and was kissed awake by a man that every German knows – albeit in a completely different context.
The part-time winegrower Günther J. asks complete strangers quizzes on television as a full-time job, has become one of the most famous Germans, thanks to his popularity he could easily afford a prestige chateau in Saint-Émilion or on the Côte d’Or, but prefers the tranquil, sleepy one Saar, swaps glamor for rubber boots there and not just for family reasons, but also for other good reasons, but one after the other.
The most expensive wine in the world
The von Othegraven winery in Kanzem on the lower Saar, whose roots go back to the 16th century, was once one of the crown jewels of German viticulture. In 1910 it was a founding member of the Association of German Prädikat Wineries and was famous all over the world for its Rieslings, which were more expensive than the most expensive wines from Bordeaux and Burgundy.
