This is the moment 30,000 litres of Prosecco went to waste at an Italian winery after a fermentation tank exploded.
Dramatic footage posted by the winery in Conegliano, in the province of Treviso, shows a fountain of sparkling wine gushing over the edges of a huge tank.
An enormous pool of Prosecco can be seen forming at the base of the tank as it continues to overflow.
The L’enoteca Zanardo Giussano wine shop shared the clip on its Facebook page, and it has since been viewed by more than a million people across the world.
Many fans of the Italian sparkling wine, which must be produced in a specific region to be called Prosecco, joked that they would head there immediately.
“We need to pack up the rubber dingys and long straws and find this place,” commented one.
“Get your glass ready and get over to Italy,” joked another.
The cause of the explosion has not yet been confirmed.
The region where the winery is based is expected to produce almost 600 million bottles of Prosecco this year, an increase on last year’s harvest.
However, figures show its growth in popularity in the UK is slowing down this year amid an increase in English sparkling wines.
