Müller-Thurgau
There’s and endless range of brand names, but maybe you’re more interested in the types of vine the wines are made from. There’s the famous Müller-Thurgau, of course, then there’s the Trollinger, Spätburgunder, Riesling, Lemberger (rare, but very delicious), Kerner, and some lesser known vines.
I searched a table for you (in German) on the internet where all the types of German wine are listed by area (left column), vine (Rebsorte), and percentage of the amount produced. “weiss” means white, “rot” means red, so you should be able to read it:

There are no real major German wine brands – there are famous grapes such as Riesling. The German wine industry is very fragmented. U choose a wine from a particular winery
