You guys remember that shipwreck they found last year in the Baltic, with the 168 odd ancient-but-preserved bottles of champagne? Well I do. And they did. And now two of those fancy old champagne bottles are going on auction because, why not?
As a refresh – in case you need it – the champagne was found in an early-1800s schooner, thought to be headed to Russia. The depth of the wreck kept the world’s oldest champagne pretty nicely preserved, and the government of Ã…land – the guys who own the booze – have opted to auction two bottles off.
The auction itself will be taking place in Mariehamm, but you can totally bid online if you want. The Government of Ã…land sure wants you too – they’re hoping for something in the order of 100,000 euros.
