100-Year-Old Champagne Found in Baltic Sea Wreck

Divers exploring the Baltic Sea stumbled upon a 19th-century shipwreck filled with a treasure trove of champagne, wine, mineral water, and porcelain.

The discovery, made by the Polish diving group Baltitech, revealed over 100 bottles of champagne, highlighting the opulence of the cargo.

The ship, believed to have been destined for the Russian Tsar Nicholas I, likely carried exclusive goods and was escorted by police due to their high value.
