Turning water into wine is a classic miracle, but we don't usually assume it's one that we'll see in our lifetime.
However, for the town of Castelvetro di Modena in Italy, a similar event left them scratching their heads — and then filling up every empty container they could find.
It would be pretty scary to see, except that the liquid also had a very distinctive scent: it was wine.
Specifically, a sparkling red wine made from local lambrusco grapes.
Once word reached the Settecani winery nearby, staff discovered a leak in one of their huge wine silos. The pressure of the leak was stronger than the town's water pressure, causing it to basically force its way into the pipes instead.
Though the town council did receive some complaints worrying about water contamination, they received just as many complaints after the leak was fixed and the "miracle" ended.
But everyone had a really nice wine to serve with dinner.
