TL;DR Summary

Two tanks containing approximately 2.2 million liters of red wine ruptured at a distillery in São Lourenço do Bairro, Portugal, causing a "river of wine" to flood the streets. No injuries were reported, but at least one cellar was flooded. The wine, stored through a government program to remove excess from the market, was slated to be converted into alcohol. Portugal's wine consumption has declined, and the distillery is investigating the cause of the breach while pledging to cover the cleanup costs.
