Tuesday, June 12, 2012 Does wine from shipwrecks taste better?Bottles of wine that are found in undersea shipwrecks tend to sell for large sums of money, such as the more recent example of 11 bottles that had been preserved for 200 years, and salvaged in 2010 from a vessel at the bottom of the lightless Baltic Sea. The bottles of bubbly were subsequently auctioned off in Finland for $136,000. To test the theory of whether storing wine in ocean depths make for a better vintage, three Frenchmen – a vineyard owner, wine barrel maker and oyster farmer - reportedly stored barrels of the same 2009 Bordeaux in the cellars of Chateau Larrivet Haut-Brion in the southwest of France and in oyster beds off the Atlantic Coast. After six months it seemed the Bordeaux from the sea was deemed to have tasted better as lab results showed that wine’s character was altered by osmosis.
