A free wine fountain sounds like the stuff of dreams – but it’s a very real thing in Caldari di Ortona in Italy. The small town has a free wine fountain that flows 24-hours a day with locally grown red wine. The fontana di vino can be found in the Dora Sarchese vineyard, which sits on the Italian pilgrimage route of Cammino di San Tommaso.

No. Italians get better the longer it goes on. When the going gets tough the Italians come out with the smash and grab and very rarely take prisoners.
btw 3-0 now.
