Shipwrecked Juglar !

In 2010, a crew of divers discovered the kind of booty we really get excited about: 79 perfectly preserved bottles of Champagne in a Baltic Sea shipwreck. Today, 11 of them were auctioned off in Finland for an amazing $156,000.

The auction took place in Mariehamn -- part of the Finnish Åland archipelago in the Baltic Sea, near where the bottles were originally found among schooner wreckage. Bloomberg reports that six of the bottles were Juglar (defunct since 1829), four were Veuve Clicquot and one was Heidsieck. The highest-priced bottle, one of the Clicquots, fetched 15,000 euros itself.
