    A typical Mainz term for a wine drinker who, at dusk, sticks his nose into a Mainzer Stange, the usual wine glass for bottled wines, in one of the many wine bars. Hence the expression “Schoppe steche”.

    The Mainz Schoppestecher is a bronze sculpture erected in honor of Mainz wine culture. It is located on the edge of Schillerplatz between the Schönborner Hof and the Proviant-Magazin. The figure was donated in 1962 by the Mainz porcelain manufacturer Heinz Schaubach on the occasion of the city's 2000th anniversary.

    The figure of the Schoppestecher shows a typical Mainz wine drinker sticking his nose into a wine glass - the so-called Mainzer Stange. The expression "Schoppestecher" is derived from the tradition of regularly drinking wine while sticking one's nose in the glass.
