- Anyone speak Hungarian?200 years old Port Wine from ocean.
01/08/09. Hungarian investigators have found about 1,000 bottles with 200 years old Port Wine in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Pernambuco/Brazil. The discovery was made by the company Octopus which is specialised in deep sea investigation. See: http://92.61.114.104/hu/team/default.asp (only Hungarian).
The bottles are undamaged. The wine has been tasted and analysed by the Hungarian Huba Szeremley (connoisseur and entrepreneur) and by the University of Budapest. They stated that the Port is suitable for consumption.
Octopus wants to expose the discovery in the short run in Brazil, Portugal and Hungary. Nothing can be said yet about the value, but Octopus likes to get into contact with interested parties.
