Wine aficionados everywhere are mourning the loss of several thousand gallons of Italian bubbly.
A fermentation tank at an Italian winery exploded, sending 30,000 liters (almost 8,000 gallons) of prosecco overflowing and pooling onto the pavement several stories below.
The L'enoteca Zanardo Giussano winery – located in Conegliano in the province of Treviso - filmed and shared a video of the huge tanks endlessly spilling their precious resource on their Facebook page.
The winery captioned the video with: "Conegliano: too much must in the silos, 30 thousand litres of Prosecco spill over!!"
Britain is reportedly the world's largest consumer of prosecco, according to the Daily Mail, but many passionate wine lovers had plenty to express about their heartbreaking loss.

One big question remained.
@snowsarawhite @MailOnline Where are all the Italians with their wine glasses under the wine fountain?— Cassidy Tuohy (@Cassidy Tuohy) 1538680068.0
The Daily Mail was unable to confirm whether one of the winery staff members possibly overfilled the tank or if a crack developed in the lid causing the eruption.
But fear not, wine lovers. Wineries in Veneto have experienced one of the best harvests this season, so all is not completely lost.
Over 600 million bottles are expected to be produced this year. We can drink to that.
Redditor Isingsongstomycats wanted to hear about what can completely make us regret speaking to another person, so they asked:
"What instantly ruins a conversation for you?"
I'm ornery. Anything and everything can turn me off.

"Had a coworker like this once, his one upping was so bad we would test it. Best one was a guy talking about catching a shark on a pole at the beach. He interrupted with the time he swam out a mile and got attacked by a shark and beat it and swam back with it."

"Or start sh*t talking someone the second they leave the room. My dad's sisters do that, I was stuck in my parents house alone with them and I would get so paranoid every time I left the room. If they do that to each other, I can’t image the crap they talk about me."

War of Words
"When they ask for your opinion or talking about something fully subjective and then tell you how you are objectively wrong or get offended by you nor agreeing."

"Similar, but not quite the same: my old roommate would correct me on things that were objective, and not like facts."
"Like I mentioned it was hard for my folks to get a mortgage because they were self employed and he correct me that it wasn't. He wouldn't believe the story i was telling and told me what he thought might have happened with no knowledge on the subject."
"Needless to say I moved out."

I swear small talk people should be arrested for attempted murder.
Useless

"If it sometimes happens on accident whenever they think of something and get over-excited it’s whatevs. Now when they constantly step over you it’s like your opinion merely feels like filler at best and they ain’t even listening. Not even worth the energy to continue at that point."

"One of my coworkers only listens long enough to figure out what she's going to say next, and then she interrupts. I guess we're only there to feed her lines."

Do Better
"When someone gives you completely useless advice you didn't ask for. A couple weeks ago I mentioned to a coworker that I was glad to be going home because I didn't get more than a couple hours of sleep."
"Dude first of all had the audacity to say 'Well, you need to do better.' When I said I have medication resistant insomnia he looks at me like I'm an idiot and asks if I've tried melatonin."

Duh
"Think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are stupider than that. And it doesn’t take you very long to spot one of them, does it. Take you about eight seconds. You’ll be listening to some guy, and say, this guy is f**king stupid. Then, then there are some people, they’re not stupid. They’re full of crap."
"Huh, that doesn’t take very long to spot, either, does it. Take you about the same amount of time. You’ll be listening to some guy, saying, well, he’s fairly intelligent. Ah, he’s full of s**t. Then there are some people, they’re not stupid, they’re not full of s**t, they’re freaking nuts."
