LONDON, England (CNN) -- Britain's Prince Charles has converted his 38-year-old Aston Martin to run on biofuel made from surplus wine, his office revealed Tuesday.

The car was a 21st birthday present from Queen Elizabeth, and the prince has converted it to run on 100 percent bioethanol as a way to reduce his carbon emissions, his office, Clarence House, said.

The prince has also converted his other cars -- several Jaguars, an Audi and a Range Rover -- to run on 100 percent biodiesel fuel made from used cooking oil, his office added.


Now I realize that some of you may object to using WINE this way...

Charles is a very progressive person, he is very much into environment and especially his garden. Many many other things so this does not surprise me. I am sure there is a lot of wine that would be wasted from the entertaining they have to do so.....waste not want not right?

Well, that's what I think! All that wine that goes down the drain from the glasses and bottles that aren't finished...

Prince Charles and Camilla came to my area last year to look at our highly progressive organic farming areas. I know he certainly seems to care about these things.

Yes he does, always has.....part of the problem with his marriage to Diana, he was too serious for her. Camilla suits him much better haha....
He also loves architecture and works to get rid of all the prefab houses and slums.
