Davy Jones' Cellar

There have been numerous reports of vintages being retrieved by divers from long-sunken ships. Sometimes, these wines have proved to be exceptionally drinkable. A keen diver, Borja Saracho, thought that allowing wines to mature on the seabed might have benefits (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/29/wineries-bottles-seabed-ageing). Saracho reasoned that the well-controlled temperature with reduced lighting on the seabed, combined with the gentle rocking motion of waves would help the wine mature. To test his idea, he obtained permission to create a 500 square metre wine-storage 'reef' in the Basque Country's Bay of Plentzia (good choice). The wines appear to be excellent!
