Scientists have tried 170-year-old wine from the bottom of the Baltic Sea and discovered the secret of his longevity – TVNZ

Bottles of wine “Veuve Clicquot” in the amount of 168 pieces discovered back in 2010 at the bottom of the Baltic Sea off the coast of Finland. Boxes obviously dropped out of the hold during a shipwreck, but traces of the ship managed to kill time. Divers gave wine scientists, those few years doing all kinds of tests, and finally announced the results.

– Wine contains a surprising amount of copper and iron. Copper sulphate was used to kill mold and fungus on the vines, – said Philip Zheade, professor at the University of Reims.

Andrew Waterhouse of the University of California, drew attention to the fact that cork bottles found denser than the current that and helped champagne persist for about 170 years.

– Most of the current wine degraded by the age of 50, when no longer be sealed cork bottle – Waterhouse said.

According to the website biotechwired.com analysis also showed that instead of cane sugar winemakers use concentrated grape juice and beverage strength – 9 degrees.
