A Portuguese winery flooded an entire city with its products (video)

Milk rivers, jelly banks – these lines from a Russian fairy tale involuntarily come to mind when seeing a rapid flow of wine on the streets of the Portuguese city of São Lourenço do Bairro in the municipality of Anadia.

Approximately 2.2 million liters of red wine, which is comparable to the capacity of an Olympic swimming pool, spilled onto the city streets. The unusual incident was caused by burst tanks, and a local winery claimed responsibility. He has already taken upon himself the obligation to cope with the consequences of the emergency – to repair the damage and clean up the city streets.
