The World's Oldest Champagne

This July a remarkable find was made in Finnish waters - the world's oldest Champagne.  The champagne dates back to somewhere around 185 years ago.  Wow.

Champagne this old makes the 8-week Welch's brew look just as gross as it should look.  Everything about a 185 year-old bottle of champagne is awesome.  Not the least of which is that it was found at the bottom of the ocean... again, Wow!



Cheers to the intrepid diver who swigged a bottle expecting salt water and was instead greeted with sweet alcohol.

According to Champagne expert Richard Juhlin, the bottles could go for $135,000 each at auction depending on who shows up to bid.
