The Prince of Wales joked with workers who produce bespoke gin and vodka on a tour to the Ramsbury Distillery in Wiltshire.
Charles was also given a tour of the distillery itself where he could be seen admiring the state of the art machinery used to produce the spirits.
Ramsbury Estate is where the wheat is grown for the distillery and is part of a wider 19,000 acres of land in Wiltshire, Berkshire and Hampshire.
The estate’s farms are centred on the village of Ramsbury where it produces award-winning cask and bottled beers, as well as single estate gin and vodka.

The heir to the throne is patron of the Prince’s Countryside Fund founded in 2010 and provides up to £1.2 million in grants to British farmers across the countryside.
After his early morning sharpener Charles, 69, chatted to schoolchildren about one of his passions - gardening - before repairing to The Bell pub for a reception for the estate’s tenants and perhaps another tipple.
