THIS IS CRAZY!!! I WOULD TO TASTE THIS Divers in the Baltic Sea are believed to have discovered a trove of 230-year old Veuve Clicquot Champagne, believed to be the oldest drinkable Champagne ever found.

One of the dive-party’s members reportedly opened one and tasted it, saying, “it tasted fantastic.” Swedish wine expert Carl-Jan Granquist estimates each bottle could bring around euro50,000 if the corks are in tact. The bottles were discovered Tuesday, July 13 near the Aland Islands in the Baltic between Sweden and Finland.

Monogram Hexagone is a very exclusive piece which is limited to only 100 pieces. Each bag is numbered which makes the bag highly covetable. If you’re planning on hunting for this piece, be sure to have US$6850 in hand.
