Austria: Wine cellars disappear into the deep
Austria: Wine cellars disappear into the deep

(Austriantimes) - Two historic wine pressing houses disappeared into the ground during the night yesterday (Thurs/Fri) in Austria. A local resident noticed the partly collapsed wineries in the early hours of this morning (Friday). The ground beneath the old buildings had been weakened as a result of a burst water pipe.
The street of wine cellars in Groß Kadholz, one of the oldest parts of the Pulkautal region in Austria, was completely closed off this morning for fears of further collapse. Several metres of the local road disappeared as well as the two houses. The historical buildings contained the oldest wine presses in the area but are now in a state of disrepair.
