When Ninorta Bahno, 26, fled Syria three-and-a-half years ago, she probably couldn't have imagined that she would become a German wine queen.
On Wednesday, Bahno will be crowned regional wine queen in Trier, a picturesque western German city known for its Roman ruins - making her the first refugee in Germany to receive the honor.
The Aramaic Christian says she is pleased with the title and hopes to use it to promote not only integration in Germany, but also Syrian wine.
"All the refugees that I know are very happy about my new title," she said. "They give me information about wine-making in Syria."
Bahno has also taken a crash course about wine-making near Trier and says her favorite variety is a sweet Riesling, which is common in the Moselle River region.

Amazing what a burqectomy can do...: )

Loved visiting Trier and the Weihnachtsmarkt there in 2007.
Yeah, they assimilate much better when they are Christian.

This won’t go over well with her ‘community’.

Christian refugees have never been the problem. The trouble is, that Germany and so many other countries try to pretend that whack-job Wahhabi Muslims are the same as Christians, because of political correctness.
Political Correctness is a religion that is potentially even more dangerous than Islam, it’s probably killed as many people.
To: Blue Jays
I’m thinking, maybe, not guilty.

Interesting how they conflate 2 groups, one of which is a death cult, and one is not.

Couldn’t the same criticism be made of every post on Free Republic which assumes that all Syrian refugees are Muslim?
To: ameribbean expat
The Aramaic Christian says she is pleased with the title and hopes to use it to promote not only integration in Germany, but also Syrian wine. A worthy goal. Good luck to her!
