Giant Wine Barrel

Bad Duerkheim, German Wine Road

This is the largest wine barrel in the world, packing 1.7 million litres – in theory, for it was never seriously intended
to serve as a container for wine: 1.7 million litres would roughly translate into 100 litres for every man, woman and child in town, and that is a lot of wine.
Inside the barrel, there is a multi-level restaurant for 400 guests.(Source: Easy Hiker)
