Wine power, baby!

You've heard that Jesus turned water into wine, now Canada's wine country will turn it into electricity -- for homes in the Niagra area. StormFisher Biogas is offering Ontario's wine producers a productive way to get rid of about 2,000 tons of smooshed grape stuff, which up until now had been sent to landfills.

It basically works like this: dump grape remnants into an industrial digester (whatever that is) then use the methane created by the decomposing grape skins and seeds to produce both electricity and natural gas. Cheers!
