Prince Charles’s Aston Martin Runs on Wine

It is certainly a vintage vehicle. And now Prince Charles’s beloved Aston Martin DB6 is running on vintage too. A nice little white from a vineyard in Wiltshire, to be precise. The car - which is kept at Highgrove and clocks up just 300 miles a year - averages ten miles a gallon, the equivalent of 4.5 bottles of wine for every mile. The grapes used for Charles’s fuel have already been fermented into wine on an English vineyard near Swindon, Wiltshire.
