WATCH: This is unbearable! 50,000 litres of wine down the drain...
A wine tank collapsed on Tuesday, 4 May, losing 50,000 litres of red wine at the Darling Cellars in the Western Cape.
We can just hear UB40's 'Red Red Wine' playing in the background. As each litre of red wine gushes away from the tanks, the song slowly fades away...
Too dramatic? Well, we are sure that red wine lovers and wine lovers in general are cringing at this loss.

Watch the footage from News24 below:
Darling Cellars released in a statement that it is suspected that a stand, which was responsible for holding the tank, collapsed and consequently fell on the other tanks.
The incident also caused them to lose some of their new wine. While Darling Cellars were upset over the financial loss incurred, they were happy that no one was hurt.
The good news for wine drinkers - this has not affected their wine supply and they will recover from this setback. Thanks for the update Darling Cellars - wine o'clock is still on, people!
