Oldest Drinkable Champagne found in the Baltic is "totally awesome"

 

The diver who found the champagne, believed to be Vueve Clicquot because of it’s cork design said the bottle he opened tasted "totally awesome." I’m not surprised, the wreck was 55 meters down and totally dark. Those are prime cellar conditions right?

The ship was believed to be traveling to France and destined for the royal court. There are still believed to be around 30 bottles amid the wreckage.  Each one is estimated to bring $70,000 at auction.
