What is the size of the biggest wine vat in the world? In what country? Where can I find a picture of it?
People say somewhere there must be a vat of about 50.000 hl!

Penaflor, Argentina's largest wine company boasts the largest wine vat in the world, with a capacity of about 50,000 hl. Located in Mendoza, the heart of the Argentine
wine industry. Argentina is the fifth largest wine producer in the world, but her citizens drink so much of this excellent wine that until recently, not much has been exported. The winery has one vat that holds in excess of five million litres - large enough to hold a full symphony orchestra, and needs 4 propellers slowly wheeling in the wine to keep it at the correct mix.
