“e correndo vanchese á bodega, abrironche as pipas, e sacaronche cheos de viño os caldeiros e olas, deixando abertas as billas, de maneira que todo o viño se foi pola bodega” — they ran into the wine cellar and opened the barrels; they took away cauldrons and pots filled with wine, leaving the faucets open so that all the wine slipped away by the cellar
