The 6.0-magnitude earthquake that rocked Napa yesterday had more consequences than physical injuries and crumpled buildings: It will certainly have consequences in the region's $50 billion wine industry. Social media streams yesterday were taken up by shot after shot of wine storage rooms in chaos, barrels and bottles on the floor, all of it stained red like a particularly grisly crime scene. But the only crime was potentially thousands of gallons of valuable Napa red wine being poured back onto the earth after being shaken off the shelves.Where wine shouldn't be #napaquake pic.twitter.com/gYALRxCEmi
