The streets of Sao Lourenco do Bairro in Portugal were painted red on Sunday after two tanks owned by a winery burst, spilling 2.2 million liters of red wine into the small town.
The amount of wine poured from the Levira Distillery is almost enough to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool, prompting local officials to issue an environmental alert, according to news reports.
Videos circulating online show a red stream flowing from a hill through the town, which has a population of more than 2,000 people.
The Anadia Fire Department diverted the wine to stop it from contaminating the nearby Certima River, USA Today reported Monday, citing local media.
The wine then spilled into a nearby field, the New York Post reported.
A cellar in a house near the distillery flooded with wine.
Levira Distillery, in a statement posted on Facebook on Monday, said it "deeply regrets the incident" and that the cause of the incident is being investigated by authorities.
The distillery also said it takes "full responsibility" for the costs associated with cleaning up and repairing the damage./ CNA
