13 Želite izvedeti več? Most frequent questions about the oldest vine in the world: • How do you know this is the oldest vine in the world, did you check all the vines in the world? • Does this vine not age; you have been claiming it is 400 years old for 20 years now? • I have a thicker vine at home, it must be older than yours? • If this is a vintage vine, how come it survived the vine lice, which decimated the then European viticulture at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century? • How long will it live?

The answers by the city winemaker, Stane Kocutar, the caretaker of the Old Vine, are found at the new www.visitmaribor.si website.
