Thank you!

I think the storage conditions were consistent as you guys point out but I do not think that the "cork seal" with the bottle was designed to withstand the hydrostatic pressure subjected at the bottom of the sea/ocean. 🤷🏻‍♂ What a great way to find out. Many thanks for sharing.

Thank you for watching! I’m no engineer and I’d love to hear more about how pressure affects the wine. The bottles are stored at about 40 meters below sea level.
