Last July divers exploring a Baltic Sea shipwreck believed to have sunk some time between 1800 and 1830 found 145 bottles of what is believed to be the world’s oldest champagne.
On arrival at the surface only one bottle burst open and this proved to be a bottle of beer which experts are trying to recreate if there is enough living yeast or other microbial cells present in the remains.
It’s many years since I drank alcohol, but it would be wonderful to try a beer made to an authentic 200-year-old recipe.
