In Italy, a vineyard in the Abruzzo region is now home to a fountain that dispenses locally-made wine to the public for free, 24 hours a day, the Religion News website reports today (October 20, 2016).
The fontana del vino -- as Italians refer to it -- is located at the Dora Sarchese Vineyard in the town of Caldari di Ortona.
The fountain -- which poured its first glasses of red wine on October 16 for a huge crowd -- is not a hangout for cheap drunks, but rather a roadside attraction where religious pilgrims can quench their thirst.
The wine fountain is located along a popular pilgrimage route -- the Cammino di San Tommaso -- where thousands of Italians travel about 150 miles east from Rome to visit Ortona, where the body of the disciple Thomas is kept.
