Seriously, who are the other nine?
The linked article that you posted focuses on genetics, not the companies.
NM, I did my own Googling - https://www.oldest.org/technology/companies/
BTW, #3 is German

3. Staffelter Hof Winery
Age: 1,156 years
Year Founded: 862 CE
Country: Germany
Industry: Winery, Hospitality
quote:
If you want to see the oldest winery in the world, which also serves as a guest house, look no further than the Staffelter Hof Winery in Germany. Founded in 862, there was once a point where Roman soldiers would have come here to purchase wine.
In addition to surviving the fall of the Holy Roman Empire, this winery also survived the destruction of WWI and WWII, where over 10 million Germans lost their lives and various places were left in ruins.
Interesting Facts:
Serves both as a guest house and winery today.
Cultivates over seven hectares of vines.
Was once part of the Holy Roman Empire.
Survived the rise and fall of Hitler’s Third Reich, WWII, and the Allied invasion of Germany.
