Unexpectedly, a street in Portugal was suddenly inundated with a surplus of red wine rather than rains. The incident took place in the famed Douro Valley wine area of Portugal, right in the middle of the medieval town of Lamego.

A storage tank at a nearby winery sustained an unanticipated burst, sending a flood of rich crimson liquid onto the cobblestone streets as the bizarre sight played out. Viewers were greeted with a really unusual sight as the vivid hue temporarily turned the narrow street into a river of wine.


Quick action was taken by volunteers, winery employees, and local authorities to stop the flow and lessen the impact on the environment. To prevent it from seeping into adjacent water supplies, firefighters were observed diverting the wine into authorized drainage pipes.
