Australia's wine industry is investigating whether its current 263 million litre glut of wine would be better used as biofuel to power cars, trucks or even aircraft.

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.

    Yeah that sounds like a wine industry problem not a govt. problem to me.

    I grew up on a cattle station then moved to wheat country as a teenager, I know exactly how entitled they are. The only reason I’d support this is if it was carefully engineered to ensure the multi-national agribusinesses don’t get a red cent.
