According to the New York Post, the leak was so huge that the spilt wine might have filled an Olympic-sized swimming pool, causing an environmental alert.

Soon after the incident, officials immediately leapt into action and attempted to halt the wine before it could flow into Certima River. The Anadia Fire Department impeded the flood and turned it away from the river, following which it ran into a nearby field.

According to fire fighters, the wine also flooded a basement at a residence near the distillery.
