In 1997, divers discovered a shipwrecked shipment of over 200 bottles of Champagne from the esteemed Heidsieck & Co. Monopole vineyard in France, worth roughly $275,000. Some of these 1907 vintage bottles, which were intended for the Russian Imperial family, were sold at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow for $33,000 a pop. [Champagne Power Hour]
