Polish divers have found a 19th-century shipwreck laden with bottles of champagne off the coast of Sweden. The wreck, which also contains porcelain and bottles of mineral water, was discovered around 60 metres below the surface of the Baltic Sea.

Diver Marek Cacaj from the Baltictech diving group said they noticed the many bottles of champagne with a "very exclusive" brand, and that they may have been destined for the tsar of Russia before the vessel sank.

"We also know — because we are in touch with the producer of this champagne — that there was a champagne produced specifically for the tsar that was sweeter, just for him," Cacaj said.

Cacaj added that if the divers get permission from Swedish authorities to remove some bottles, they will send them to the manufacturer to ascertain how much they might now be worth and whether they are still drinkable.
