Zwiebelkuchen is a favored autumn dish commonly enjoyed at wine festivals. It is particularly popular in Germany's wine-producing regions, including Thuringia, Palatinate, Hessia, Franconia, Baden, Swabia, Alsace, and the Rhine and Moselle areas. People enjoy drinking "neuer Wein" with it. "Neuer Wein" is slightly fermented grape juice, before the squeezed grapes turn into proper wine to be bottled. <ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
