World’s Oldest Drinkable Champagne- Tastes Great, Apparently
While investigating a sunken ship in the Baltic Sea, divers discovered the world’s oldest drinkable champagne, supposedly from the 1780′s. What did they do? They drank it.
Well, of course they did. What would you do? Good on ‘em.
Ekstrom said the divers were overjoyed when they popped the cork on their boat after hauling the bubbly from a depth of 60 metres.
“It tasted fantastic. It was a very sweet champagne, with a tobacco taste and oak,” Ekstrom said.
Not relying solely on a taste test, scientists are testing the bottles to be sure that they’re genuine, and to gauge their exact age. Should they prove genuine, each bottle could be worth around €50,000 (US$64,500).
Hey, they’ve been stored perfectly: in a cold, dark place.
