  We consider scattering in nonperturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) for
large invariant centre of mass energy $\surd s$. Our analysis is based upon the
Stochastic Vacuum Model~(SVM) of Dosch and Simonov and on the nonperturbative
$s \to \infty$-asymptotic formula of Nachtmann for the scattering of two Wegner
Wilson loops. We argue, that its validity can be expanded to large but finite
values of~$s$ by {\sl not} substituting the initial near light-like loops for
their exact light-like limits. Thus, the $T$-amplitude depends on $s$ beyond
the kinematical factor. This $s$-dependence is explicitly calculated. We
conclude performing the analytical continuation to Euclidean spacetime and in
that way make accessible high-energy scattering to Euclidean theories such as
QCD lattice gauge theory. Based upon the $s \to \infty$-asymptotic formula, we
further calculate exclusive photo- and leptoproduction of a vectormeson at the
proton: $\ga^{(*)}p \to V p$}, -- for $V \equiv \rho(770), \omega(782),
\phi(1020), J/\psi(3097)$ and $\rh(1450), \rh(1700)$. Essential entities are
the photon light-cone wave function of light-cone perturbation theory (LCPT)
universalised to vanishing virtualities $Q$ and wave functions for the
vectormesons modelled accordingly. We verify the SVM-specific mechanism of
formation of interacting gluonic strings between the quark constituents.
