Kröver Nacktarsch: the story
Many legends surround the extravagant name of the "Kröver naked ass" - which of them applies is not known. According to what is probably the best-known anecdote, a Kröver winegrower once caught his two children trying the wine in the cellar without permission. This is said to have led to the punishment that would later give the Kröver Nacktarsch its name: the beating on the bare buttocks. At least this scene can still be seen on the labels of the Kröver Nacktarsch today.
The label and the obscene name of the Kröver Nacktarsch led to a ban on selling the wine in the USA for a long time. But it was precisely the sensation caused by this ban that made Kröver Nacktarsch known worldwide. Today it is a piece of culture that can be experienced in many different ways. Be it walking through the Kröver vineyards with their impressive nature, visiting the wine village of Kröv, or drinking a bottle of Kröver Nacktarsch.
