German Wine Princess

The German Wine Princesses (Deutschen Weinprinzessinnen) are the deputies of the German Wine Queen. Each year, up to three runners up in the German Wine Queen competition are awarded the title of "Wine Princess". Like the Wine Queen, they then become national and international representatives of the German wine industry under the direction of the German Wine Institute.
