What is a Wine Queen? – Every year, representatives from the thirteen wine regions of Germany compete for the title of Deutsche Weinkönigin, or Wine Queen of Germany. During their one-year appointment, the Wine Queen of Germany and regional wine queens spread the good word of German wines at over 250 special events and wine festivals across the globe!
This February, the Athenaeum welcomes Wine Princess of Germany, Jessica Himmelsbach, and Wine Queen of Baden, Julia Noll.
