Unlike most other German wine regions, wine is not only served straight, but is also mixed with sparkling water to make up a popular refreshing drink called Schorle, a term that also describes juice, mixed with water.
Every wine making city or village has its own Weinfest (wine festival) once a year, dedicated to drinking the local wines.
On such occasions, wine is normally consumed as Schorle.
It is traditionally served in 50cl glasses called Schoppen (meaning 1/2 litre) as well as in the typical 25cl ones called Viertel ("quarter", for 1/4 litre).

They are of a special shape specific to the region and are known as the Dubbeglas, widening from bottom to top and featuring indentations or large dimples (Dubbe) that give the glass its name.
 The older, undimpled cylindrical half-litre Schoppenglas is also frequently seen in the region.
The German Wine Route (Deutsche Weinstraße) traverses this wine region.
The region also produces spirits, sparkling wines, wine vinegar, and grape seed oil.
