What do you think of this idea? I had this image of people going to the petrol pump and taking a swig, but if the boffins can do something useful with all the warehoused unsellable wine it might help in various ways.

It's kind of wasteful to use good agriculture land to produce fuel, but if there is a surplus of wine is better to put it to good use. They'll have to distill it to a much higher percentage of ethanol to be useful as fuel though, it won't be drinkable anymore at that point. The residue might even be able to be fermented to produce methanol.
