🌊 French winemakers are sinking bottles to the bottom of the sea to age them.
The idea came from shipwrecks: century-old bottles pulled from the seabed turned out to be in remarkable condition. Now producers lower steel cages 20 to 60 metres down for months or years. No light, no UV, no oxygen, a temperature that barely moves, plus constant pressure and the rocking of the current. An identical batch stays in the cellar for comparison. The sunken bottles come back covered in barnacles and coral.
