Veuve Clicquot buries champagne in Baltic Sea in ageing experiment


Veuve Clicquot has lowered hundreds of bottles of champagne deep into the Baltic Sea in an ageing experiment that also commemorates the discovery of shipwrecked bottles in the same area about four years ago.

Three hundred regular bottles and 50 magnums of bubbly encaged in a specially built, underwater cellar, dubbed the Aland Vault after the Aland shipwreck off the coast of Finland, will remain buried for 50 years, reports wine publication The Drinks Business.
