Prince Charles' Wine Powered Car

So if you hadn't already guessed from the title - this post is about a very, very ridiculous topic. Prince Charles of England has apparently taken to driving an expensive Aston Martin car that is powered by wine. Yes, wine.

All of the Prince's vehicles (including the Aston Martin and several Jaguars, Range Rovers and Audi's) have been converted to run on 100 % environmentally friendly fuel. Many of the vehicles are powered by used cooking oil, but the latest addition to the royal fleet runs primarily on bio ethanol fuel made from wine. Check out a quote from the Prince's private secretary, Sir Michael Peat:

"The bio ethanol from our supplier happens to be made from wine. I think our wine is surplus English wine. It is wonderful. It is not corked."

Oh the crazy world of wine. What will they come up with next?
