Champagne Found on Seabed

Divers in the Baltic Sea have discovered 30 bottles of champagne believed to be from before the French Revolution! The divers opened one bottle and found the wine to be drinkable and in remarkably good condition. The cold, dark conditions have helped preserve the wine which could be worth as much as £45,000 a bottle if shown to be from the 18th century (currently the oldest champagne is from 1825)!
