For about three hours, red wine flowed from the taps of some kitchen sinks and bathtubs in a northern Italy town.

TORONTO -- For about three hours, red wine flowed from the taps of some kitchen sinks and bathtubs in a northern Italy town last week.

The lighthearted news comes during an anxious time for people in northern Italy, where more than 5,000 people have been infected with a novel coronavirus that has killed more than 200 in the country. The red wine valve malfunction brought some much-needed humour to the region, and around the world, acknowledged Deputy Mayor Giorgia Mezzacqui.

Excellent wine is so abundant (and cheap) in our Valpolicella region, that I have been asking for years it be distributed through a pipeline.

That’s a great idea....lol❤️🇨🇦

A mayor that finds levity in a serious and potentially fatal fault in his towns plumbing!!!!!

water to wine...? Deja vu

Omg it’s like the plague from the bible.... next locust

Something in Italy is causing this to spread at alarming rates. Is it tomatoes? Red wine? Kissing on the cheek ? Pasta? Better figure it out FAST

LethbridgeCity hint hint...

Perfect. Alcohol is a disinfectant & yay 🍷! 😊

Great strategy to get tourists to come!

WTF hahahahahah let’s get drunk !

Life goes on.....

👍

I'll have another

Yes to the red wine

You know, you get on Twitter and see all of the craziness going on, but I realize that you should be grateful for every moment you have in good health, and empathize for those in peril. People forget to think about that sometimes.

Sounds like fun ....😀😀😀❤️🇨🇦

One last party...

WoW, that's very generous of them to offer free wine to those confined to their homes.

Praise the Lord... Jesus has risen...risen he became... Ok I am starting a Church. Membership is only $499/year and it includes bottle of this holy water.... The Church of Vino

You might as well be drunk when confronting a virus outbreak.

Guess if you are going to be stuck at home, just as well as to enjoy yourself.

I do believe I found my next travel destination.

Jesus? Is that you?

Different than filling up on free samples driving the Niagara wine route.

And the problem is

Booked my one-way ticket.

Dreams do come true...!

It looks like strawberry milk shake to me....

😱

It's a miracle!! 😂

That would scare the crap out of me til I found out the cause!

I guess you could call it a Religious Experience? I heard a guy named J something once did that a long time ago...

Only in Italy! Long live Italia!

Doesn't say much for Italian plumbing. Lucky that it was red and not yellow.

Proof that Jesus will cure the coronavirus.

It. Is a Miracle!! Ha ha super cool! We need that too

Now that’s my kind of news!!! Cheers. 🍷

I am Canadian, and i approve this tweet!

...dreams do come true 🤪

As a child, I used to dream that chocolate milk would flow out of the drinking fountains at school instead of boring old water. 🤣 As an adult, I’ll take the wine!

I’m pretty sure that janelleybelley2 might have had a hand in that event

Is that how Italians try to cure corona virus?

That's the most Italian thing I can possibly imagine.

Why does that never happen here?

Now why couldn't that happen in MY home town!
