German town crowns Syrian refugee 'Wine Queen'
Twenty-six-year-old Syrian Ninorta Bahno has become the first refugee to be crowned the 'Wine Queen' of Trier town, Germany. The Syrian Christian, who fled Syria over three years ago, will represent Trier's winemakers at events. The 'German Wine Queen' tradition began in the 1930s, and 'Wine Queens' from German regions compete to become the 'German Wine Queen' every year.
