Came across this article "Prince Charles' car runs on wine"
and thought to myself... what a noble regal gesture and
who else could afford to do such a thing?
Maybe the french... "Let them have cake and eat it too"?

Well... it's the thought that counts.

"...tips on buying organic wine and 'green' bottles."

"Organic" is not a simple term. The overall concept is that wines are made naturally with no chemicals, in a biologically sustainable way. But organic wines are now being made all around the globe, from the United States and Europe to the southern hemisphere. In fact, a growing number of producers practice some form of natural grape growing and winemaking because they believe these methods make better wine.

Since Amazing Grapes is right down the road from me, I knew about this and I will often take my shipping cartons back to them for re-use. I think most of the stores in the area are happy to get those styro's back for free.
