'It was fantastic ... it had a very sweet taste ... very small bubbles'

Now this is a celebration, a treasure...

Great, then the next day they found out they loss the possible profit of $10k?

In the Video it says, It can bring about $60 each bottle at auction/s. So they had to taste one to
determine the freshness and taste before they can auction. So now those bottles are worth close
to $2 mil combined. One heck of a diving lol

Later on, they will discover it was some drunk Russian sailor's piss

That's incredible.

If I was filthy rich, the one drink (and bottle) I would love to have is one of the uncorked and still full Champagne bottles on the ocean floor that went down with the Titanic.

It was incredible (and somber) to see all that china and champagne bottles lying in that watery grave in the documentary by Robert Ballard, National Geographic - Secrets of the Titanic.

Saw on the news they expected to go upwards of 60,000, not 60 for each bottle. Crazy.

Sorry I meant 60K and forgot to add the k at the end but I did do the total
combined value of close to $2 Millions. And yes that is crazy.

Just imagine all the cool stuff sitting on ocean floors...
