Searching for that perfect wine pairing? Try wine and biodiesel, research from the University of the Basque Country in Spain indicates.

If acetals — the chemical compounds found in many wines — are blended with biodiesel, they improve its properties, the university said Monday in a release.

Researchers with the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Environment of the Faculty of Engineering in Bilbao are working on a project seeking to encourage the use of this fuel — and produce it more easily and cheaply with acetals.
