①Everyone knows that Spain is home to some crazy festivals. From throwing tomatoes at one another to burning dolls made of cardboard, wood or plastic, the Spanish festivals are quite amazing. You may not have heard of the Haro Wine Festival, but it is full of fun, too. 

②The wine festival is actually a battle of the wine, held from the 28th to the 30th of June each year in Haro, one of the most important wine-producing towns in northern Spain. The Haro Wine Festival was only announced as a festival of both national and touristic interest in 1965, but its origins（起源） could go back much further. In fact, it was way back in the early part of the 13th century. At that time, Haro had a land problem with its neighbor in a nearby area. One day, people from the two sides started throwing wine at each other to solve the problem. That day the tradition started and got the name "War of Wine".

③During the festival, the wine fight begins early in the morning on the places out of Haro. People are armed with buckets, water guns and anything that can be filled with red wine, and they pour the wine onto their friends or strangers. Everyone is supposed to wear a white shirt during the "fight", because it is easily stained （染色）. The "fight" will last for several hours until everyone's shirt becomes bright purple. They will then return to the center of the town to enjoy delicious food and drinks.

④Each year, thousands of people, locals and visitors, celebrate the festival. Maybe you can become a member of them one day. The only problem is that you will smell like wine for days after the "fight"
