TL;DR Summary

A distillery in São Lourenço de Bairro, Portugal, apologized after two storage tanks burst, causing a river of surplus wine to rush down a narrow street. The incident, captured on video, resulted in no injuries but may have caused damage to a home's basement. Firefighters diverted the flow into fields, and the distillery pledged to handle cleanup and repairs. The surplus wine was a result of a wine surplus in Europe due to decreasing demand, and the distillery's storage facility was part of the government's efforts to address the crisis.
