Well Aged Champagne?

Seabed conditions had preserved the wine perfectly

'World's oldest champagne' found on Baltic seabed

Divers have found 30 bottles of champagne thought to pre-date the French Revolution on the Baltic seabed.

When they opened one, they found the wine - believed to have been made by Veuve Clicquot between 1782 and 1788 - was still in good condition.

The bottle - whose shape indicates it was produced in the 18th Century - has now been sent to France for analysis.

If confirmed, it would be the oldest drinkable champagne in the world.

Diver Christian Ekstrom was exploring a shipwreck on the Baltic seabed when he found the bottles. More

I don't even want to wager on the auction price for these bottles. Astronomical is my guess.
