Franc wine for Peking Duck

With the representative of the Franks in the world, it is badly gone down the drain, since the Guttenberg saying goodbye to the covers and went into self-imposed exile in America. Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich is good as well as his Bavarian counterpart Joachim Herrmann ex officio not quite to people from, say, Romania, Chechnya and Somalia to convince them of the Franconian hospitality. And Lothar Matthäus indeed come around a lot in the world, but many Herzogenauracher would prefer if one could not even listen so much to the ex-football player who stands out more as a companion changing significantly younger women today where he comes from. Even when he speaks English. And right of celebrities such as cinematographer Michael Ballhaus and actress Sandra Bullock again hardly anyone knows that they spent their childhood in Franconia.



Fortunate, therefore, that there is the Franconian wine queen. Marion Wunderlich it is this year, and like its predecessors it is also traveling the world to promote the Franconian wine. In September, she flies for four weeks to Asia, which is the one tradition to another and determines can not hurt if China ever thought to raise punitive tariffs on wines from the European Union.

For this, the Franconian wine queen breaks even with a different tradition: For the first time in decades, the jurisdiction applies not from Franconia to the crown of the German Wine Queen. Eight times came the German Wine Queen already from Franconia and has at least brought to the wine princess. But now: conflicting schedules.

Although it was a shame it is when Weinbauverband, but just not to change. And the Asian market holds great potential for the Franconian wine growers. Perhaps the sovereignty should also travel through Upper Bavaria. Yes there are still those in the majority who would rather drink the booze last Italian to open than a buck bag. Perhaps by one or the other swayed by a real queen. Even though it would probably take longer than four weeks.
