Residents of the village of São Lourenço do Bairro in Portugal were taken by surprise on Sunday, September 10, when 2.2 million liters of red wine surged through the streets. This wine came from the Levira distillery, located in the village, where two tanks burst, as reported by La Dépêche.
The wine, fit for consumption, flooded the main road of the village, causing no injuries but resulting in significant material damage. In a video posted on the social network X, formerly Twitter, the liters of wine flow along the street, completely covering the roadway. Nearby roads and fields in the area were also submerged.
