Is www.vinskeprice.com legit or a scam?
A legitimate and well-established Croatian wine journalism blog with nearly 10 years of history and positive media coverage.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
The domain has been active for nearly 10 years, which is a strong indicator of legitimacy compared to the short-lived nature of most scam sites. Our research identified the site as the official platform for Željko Garmaz, a recognized Croatian journalist and author of several books on regional viticulture. While one engine in our antivirus network flagged the site, this appears to be a false positive given the lack of any malicious behavior or phishing patterns. The site contains years of niche content, including interviews and event coverage, which aligns with its reputation in the Croatian media. We found no reports of fraud, malware, or deceptive practices associated with this domain.
