Underwater archaeologists / shipwreck hunters found a ship in the Baltic Sea. It's not a really old ship (as might be possible in the land of the Vikings), but it had something on board that would make looters and plunderers really happy.
That would be about 100 bottles of unopened champagne.
Now, it's not clear or obvious if the champagne is drinkable; but they may go back to find out.
Divers discover 19th-century shipwreck laden with 100 champagne bottles"Factors such as the integrity of the cork and storage conditions underwater could influence the state of the champagne, Bester said.
How well a wine ages “largely depends on the quality of the wine in the first place,” Bester said. “If these wines were top-quality vintage champagne, then the chances are higher that some might survive.”
