Too bad Rheingold beer is no longer in production. Even though the spelling is different, people recognized and remembered my name back in those days. And for what it's worth, Rheingold means gold of the Rhine (River), and Reingold means pure gold. Rheingold is a gentile name, whereas Reingold is a Jewish name.
