TL;DR Summary

A coastal village in Portugal experienced an unusual flooding incident when 600,000 gallons of red wine flowed through the streets after two tanks owned by Levira Distillery burst. The incident caused material damage but no injuries, with the wine flooding nearby roads and land. Efforts were made to divert the wine to prevent contamination of the nearby river, and the distillery has apologized and pledged to cover the costs of cleaning and repairing the damage. The soaked soil will be taken to a special treatment plant.
