The town of Sete, near Montpellier was drenched in red wine on Tuesday night after the contents of five huge vats of wine were spilled onto the streets. Spilled wine has already made headlines this year, when French farmers in April emptied the contents of Spanish wine trucks, in a protest against falling food prices in France.
