It is enough to make a connoisseur weep – the sight of millions of litres of red wine flooding down the streets of a Portuguese village. The freak occurrence took place when two huge wine tanks burst at a distillery in Sao Lourenco do Bairro in the centre of the country. Bemused locals watched as an estimated 2.2 million litres – equivalent to the water held in an Olympic-sized swimming pool – cascaded through the village on Sunday, swirling around street signs and parked cars. Video footage showed the torrent of red wine flowing down a slope and around a bend in the road.
