The new German wine princess Luise Böhme from Saxony-Anhalt "can't contain her joy at the title even one day after the election." "It's incredibly beautiful, I haven't realized it yet," said the 22-year-old from Kirchscheide in the Burgenland district on Saturday of the German Press Agency in Magdeburg. Böhme comes from the Saale-Unstrut wine-growing region and was elected German Wine Princess on Friday evening together with Juliane Schäfer (25; Rheinhessen wine-growing region). You will now support the new German Wine Queen Katrin Lang (23; Baden wine-growing region) as an ambassador of German wine for a year and also attend individual appointments.

"We already had the first introduction," said Böhme. "One is immediately in office." A lot of social media is also on the agenda in the coming days. "Katrin is clearly the focus," said the daughter of a winemaker. "People will see us primarily as a trio, but also as a duo and individually. The important thing is the message and the representation."

On Friday evening, five young women competed in the election for the 74th Wine Queen in Neustadt an der Weinstraße in the Palatinate. It represents around 15,000 German winegrowers for one year. Among other things, the five candidates had to recognize wine types in a blind tasting and demonstrate quick-wittedness. The German Wine Queen has been promoting the industry since 1949. There are a total of 13 wine-growing regions in Germany.
