Abstract

The oldest information about a kind of personification of “wine queen” goes back to the 14th century to the Madonna of the Grapes or Traubenmadonna. Later the autumn customs of vine growing areas were frequently associated with women, beauty and the initiation before the marriage. The first formal awards of a wine queen title happened in the USA in the beginning of the 20th century, followed by Germany, France, Brazil, Argentina and other big exporters of wine in 1930’. And so the wine queen selections splashed to other Central European countries, like Austria, Hungary, Slovenia and Slovakia, and to Asia.
