I’m not a sparkling wine fan, but I would be curious to taste this.
“From the refreshing citrus tones to a mineral salty finish, like an oyster...”
What? I paid good money for some KELP undertones! ;)
OK, a saber open is a bit dramatic.
I wonder if there was any fear that marine borer worms would have attacked the cork, or if extra lead protection was added to keep them away from the cork?
C’mon! Everybody sing!
“1,700 Bottles of Sparkling Wine in the Sea, 1,700 Bottles of Sparkling Wine...”
I like it.
I thought this was a longer-term experiment. Bottled in 2018 and spent the last six months under 110 feet of water. Five years, give or take, and only a fraction of under novel conditions. Doesn’t sound much different than five years in a similarly controlled cellar.
I remember an old National Geographic in which they dredged up unbroken wine bottles from Port Royal Jamaica which sank in an earthquake in 1692.
In tasting the wine, using a hypodermic to draw the wine out, the said it tasted either oniony or skunky.
“Retrieve one from the sea, pass it around, 1,699 Bottles of Sparking Wine...”
It just doesn’t have the same ‘ring’ to it, ya know? ;)
Archeology We Can Drink™️ Pinglist!
I do prefer red wine. I’m particularly fond of Argentine malbec, but a glass of Kendall-Jackson red blend is nice after a crazy day at work.
However, I don’t mind a nice cold glass of chablis once in a while, either. A good friend of mine likes it and we’ll occasionally share a bottle.
I just don’t care much for the sparkling wines. But I’d taste this Arctic chilled stuff just out of curiosity.
Oh hell no. Bottle breach.
The one flavor that should never be in a sparkling wine.
If they use it for anything but cooking on their rafts, demand a refund.
😂😂😄🤣🤣
LOL!
Maybe “Pull one up, pass it around 1,699 bottles of crap in the sea.”
Speaking of Argentine Malbec, have you tried Alamos? My former Argie neighbor turned me on to it. $8 a bottle, and good.
A thousand bottles of wine on the wall,
A thousand bottles of wine....
If one of those bottles should happen to fall
.....
I went to Norway on vacation years ago. Absolutely love Norwegians, their food, people, hotels, eincredible hardware stores, etc. . Would love to have a sip of this sea-chilled stuff
