Four years ago, Roksolana moved to Bad Sulza in the federal state of Thuringia in eastern Germany. Here she studied and now works as a manager in a local hotel.
The town is famous for winemaking, and for over 30 years, before the harvest, a festival has been held here, where a wine princess is chosen.
The Ukrainian woman impressed the jury with her deep knowledge of the region and winemaking.
Now, for a year, she will represent Bad Sulza and all of Thuringia at various festive events, promoting local wines.
In Germany, such a tradition of choosing wine queens or princesses exists in every wine-growing region, and Roksolana has become a vivid example of a foreigner's success in this prestigious competition.
