Zwiebelkuchen? I also had it once in an area about an hour north of
Frankfurt. Someone explained to me that the new wine was actually new grape
juice mixed with the fruit remnants from the barrels when the wine is
bottled. (Hence the term "bottom of the barrel?") The restaurant would
only serve one glass per customer because they claimed the very active
fermentation would make you sick more easily than "normal wine." I
survived. And I liked the quiche and wine combination.

Tschuss,
