Market on Landau's Rathausplatz every Tuesday and Saturday morning, with regional cheese stalls, Alsatian cheeses and a stand pouring Pfalz wines; some town festivals move it to the Alter Messplatz.
German Wikipedia says cider is the usual drink with Handkäse, but in some areas, the Palatinate among them, a dry white wine is drunk with it too. The wines listed are dry whites of medium body with high or medium acidity.
