Residents in a village in northern Italy faced a malfunction in their plumbing that many probably wished was not fixed too quickly.
The Italian town of Castelvetro has been dealing with the somber coronavirus crisis but, for a few hours on Wednesday, residents were surprised with a strange treat as red wine began to flow from their water faucets and shower heads.
Error 404 (Not Found)!!1A local winery reportedly suffered a malfunction in its bottling line that sent 1,000 liters of sparkling wine into the town’s water pipes instead of into ready to fill bottles, according to CNN.
About 20 homes experienced a few unexpected hours of the strange sight as red Lambrusco freely poured out of kitchen sinks.
According to Giorgia Mezzacqui, deputy mayor of Castelvetro, the malfunction, which the local government said didn’t pose any health risks, lasted about three hours.
