How long will a bottle of campaign last if it was at the bottom of the ocean? And would it still be drinkable?

Statement made by wine expert:


';The oldest drinkable wine I've tasted was an 1811 Chambertin. Napoleon ruled the world. What successful businessman would not want to participate in drinking such history?''





Assuming the cork held up I'm sure the ocean bottom would be an excellent ';wine cellar';, and 200 years wouldn't be too long a time for wine to still be good.How long will a bottle of campaign last if it was at the bottom of the ocean? And would it still be drinkable?
The question is whether or not the cork held up to the salt water. Usually they fail after a number of years. If the seal stayed intact, then the champaign would be jusst fine.How long will a bottle of campaign last if it was at the bottom of the ocean? And would it still be drinkable?
The chances arethat it would be good after decades, cold and dark will preserve the wine.





There have been a couple of cases recently where sparkling wine makers have deliberately stored some wine under the sea, inspired by some recent cases where wine recuded from sunken ships has been found to be excellent.





In 1997 bottles of 4400 bottles of 1907 vintage Heidesieck Champagne ';Go没t Americain'; were recovered from the Swedish two-masted schooner J枚nk枚ping that was sunk in the Baltic by a U-boat in 1916. The Champagne tasted fine. 24 bottles were sold by Christies at 拢2400 each in 1998.





Also some 50 year old Champagne in half bottles were found in 2004 in a sunken ship in the English Channel.
Are you running for office? Are you planning a battle? campaign ?
i think it would last a very long time because it would be very cold at the bottom of the ocean, but then again the pressure could make it explode before it even got half way down
you can drink anything... some 2 year old kid drank his mom's finger nail polish in another question here a few minutes ago...





i think your question is, ';how long will the champaign taste good if stored at the bottom of the ocean?';





the answer to that would largely depend on the temprature and maybe the pressure. it will eventually turn into vinagar... warmer storage will speed this up and cooler storage may slow it down some. if the pressure is great enough, the sea water may infiltrate the beverage and spoil it that way too.





I would guess a couple or so decades probably wouldn't hurt it much, but after a century or so, i would bet that it would be rank.
If u are lucky it can still be drinkable evan after houndrets of years! if not it turns in to vineger... :) also drinkable :))
