champagne found in shipwreck: Gardega News Service

Divers earlier this week found 30 bottles of bubbly believed to date back to 1780 and possibly be Veuve Clicquot--the Mercedes of bubbly. It has been perfectly preserved and supposedly tastes perfect. Each bottle could possibly fetch $65,000 it the authenticity can be verified. The bottles were found july 6th off Aaland island

The find supposedly has a dark golden color and intense aroma.
There is theory that it could be Louis the XVI'S own champagne sent to Peter The Great. If this is the case it could fetch several million.

If it was simply the collection of some Finnish guy named sturg, then it isnt worth quite as much, Methinks.
