An impressive-sized grapevine will be created in the Great National Assembly Square /PMAN/ as part of this year’s edition of National Wine Day, and the organizers intend for the achievement to be registered in the Guinness Book. The initiative was presented by Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry Eugeniu Osmochescu and director of the National Vine and Wine Office (ONVV) Ștefan Iamandi, during a press conference presenting the event.

According to the minister, the installation will be created with public participation, while the arrangement of the elements will reproduce the shape of a grapevine. The roots will be oriented toward the Triumphal Arch, while the front section will face the Government Building.
