The passengers of the ill-fated RMS Titanic were unaware that they were heading to their demise, but over 100 years later, their chilling story still resonates. The Titanic’s passengers never knew that they would create a Guinness World Record almost a century later when researchers stumbled upon the ship’s cold and dark wine cellar.
In 1985, a joint French-American expedition located the sunken ship at approximately 12,500 feet (3,800 m) below sea level. Since then, the area around it is sealed off to prevent looting and preserve the wreck area. The Titanic was not just a British ship; it was also a floating wine cellar. The passengers and crew of the famous liner had access to the best French wines of the time, some of which are bottled today.
More than on any other ship, there were over 1,500 bottles of wine on the Titanic. In fact, oceanographers found many of these bottles still mostly intact and drinkable after nearly 100 years underwater. This resulted in a fascinating study about the effects of temperature change on aging wines and how long it takes for things like labels to disintegrate when exposed to extreme heat or cold temperatures over time.
The wine was on board for just nine days before it sank. They found mostly red wines and some whites. Some were rare fine wines that would have been expensive and likely had high-quality ratings for their time.
