19th-Century Champagne Shipwreck Discovered Off Sweden

Nearly 100 bottles of well-preserved champagne found in Baltic Sea wreckage; Swedish authorities restrict access

Polish divers uncovered the 19th-century shipwreck containing crates of champagne and mineral water.
The wreck, known since 2016, was found 190 feet deep off southern Sweden's coast.
Authorities have declared the site an ancient relic, prohibiting removal without authorization.
Experts believe the cargo was destined for royal or noble tables in Stockholm or St. Petersburg.
A similar find in 2010 saw a single bottle fetch €30,000 at auction.
