A Portuguese distillery has flooded an entire town with red wine.
More than 2 million litres of red wine rushed through the streets of São Lourenço and down its hills.
The town in the country’s north was flooded after two wine tanks at the Levira Distillery suddenly gave way.
The spill was so massive that the river of red could have filled an entire Olympic-sized swimming pool.
Local authorities were quick to stop the rushing wine before it could surge into a nearby river, triggering an environmental catastrophe.

lol town folk at the bottom, I’d dare say being Portuguese they were all there collecting it for future use and then some
Reminds me of this scripture:
Revelation 14:19-20
And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. [20] And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
I would have been out there with buckets and any container I could put my hands on – cheers!
Plot twist, new shining film, be like
Sorry, too busy slurping all that wine before it goes to waste!
Wine bath galore
Its crazier to me that theres not a single person out there.. wheres all the people with buckets?
In many would have drowned
Wine spilling from two separate tanks suggests sabotage to me. Call me cynical.
Gives new meaning to the phrase "Painting the town red".🤣🤣🤣
Stop wining
The comments here have made me crack up after all the dire tragic environmental disasters happening in the world today.

Send the flood
R.i.p to the town drunk, drowned the way he wanted.
Would have loved surfing down this street listening to Fleetwood Mac and diping a glass down for a drink. ❤
It’s funny because it’s an alcohol and alcohol is inherently funny because of all the deaths drug laws and taxing causes. Great reporting. Definitely not 2 million litres stored in those two tanks
