Aging Wine at the Bottom of the Sea
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2024
- In the southern part of Croatia, in the peninsula of Pelješac, one winery is taking their love of wine *deep*-75 feet below the Mediterranean Sea's surface. Wanting to combine his two favorite pastimes, winemaker and scuba diver Edi Bajurin built an underwater winery, with custom cages and secure clay amphora that store the bottles for a year and a half. But why underwater? For Edi, the ocean’s “silence” bestows and blesses wine with a certain richness unlike anything found above ground.

Wine guy, "Bruh this wine is loud AF."
One of those things that people think is so amazing cause it's done different. If wine was always kept underwater when it was first invented and someone thought of the idea of keeping it in barrels on land, people would react to it the same way. I'm sure it doesn't taste better, it tastes different and people sometimes think different is better cause they've been bored of the same taste. What's the next different ridiculous way of aging wine? Keeping it suspended in space? Actually sounds pretty cool lol.
Hmm, irradiated wine. If Chernobyl it's not an option!
was anyone else really disappointed when they saw him putting a bottled wine in the jar?
TrueCrimeRIP
No, was thinking about salt infusing the wine otherwise. Not so good...
Me.
TrueCrimeRIP I was too😣😣😣😣
He is NOT aging it... he just storing it.... for it to be aging the right way it has to be in a wooden barrel... not a glass bottle.... this is just a GIMMICK for suckers....
okay listen the wine is bottled so it can age and its put in clay so it cant be damage and can be sustaned in the water so he puts in to the glass and puts the clay over so it wont break and he takes it out of the clay and its finished
What a smart marketing gimmick! ;)
NafstaPolarIce actually I am from Croatia, and sparkling wine is very good pulled out of the sea. But I didnt know that sound has to do something with it, it's the pressure and temperature
@@siiNke I really don't understand how sound could matter, I'd like to hear the science on that one
Forgive me if I'm wrong, don't got that much knowledge in wine/liquor making however, isn't aging for these drinks only considered aged by how long its been in a wooden barrel casket?
They say this because once the said drink is out and bottled in a glass bottle theres no more development. Doesn't it have to be exposed to the wooden barrel its sitting in and change taste/complexity over time thus attributing to what is known as aging?
In the video we already see bottles in glass, and its just being stored underwater.
Pretty sure this is correct and this guy is just sticking wine in an annoying to access cabinet
you can age in bottle too, the wine is organic so it will grow older and change in flavor, I'm not familiar with the specifics, google it, people do this with beer whiskey etc. as well but its typically done by the consumer since its easier and more consistent for larger manufacturers to age in a batch, such as in a barrel as you mentioned
riffzilla hmm I wonder if they can age in can too
Winona as long as it is exposed to organic material it would change flavor or texture
nah, its not bottled, he "only uses glass bottle to keep wine in and salt water out"
I'd like this guy to show the scientific evidence as to how sound waves affect wine
sound creates energy as it vibrates molecules. Sound aging of whiskey is also a thing. So I think different sounds would age the spirit differently.
The vibrations created by sounds are amplified underwater, and even slight vibrations can stir the wine and slightly mess with the precisely desired aging process
What if someone decides to steal that wine? any preventive measurement?
Lmao what kind of robber has a diving suit on hand and knows HOW to dive
a dedicated one i suppose lol
加藤みずっち Lmao
TH-cam HERO there aren't any sharks in Croatia
turtie11 now that people have seen the video though..
Locally the wine sells for 80-2000 Croatian Kuna ($13-315 USD)
You can get a bottle in America for around $90 at the lowest, an average of $178.
Saved you a google
John in croatia it costs 65 euros.
you can get wine for 12$ in America.
the cheapest wines in usa can cost from 2$ to 50$
Yea cone to crpatia im from here and try it its sonething different
You know what I'd love to see... An experiment where people blind taste test this wine along with other wine of similar, higher and lower values and really test if people will like his wine more and say it has more flavor.
People's opinions on taste changes when they hear a price and when they hear its gourmet.
Even if it doesn't improve the taste... This looks really intriguing
I can just imagine some tourist are on a boat there and then they drop the anchor and it hits the wine underwater and the water becomes red and they are like "Damn! i think we hit a diver"
I hate to break it to Edi, but even if I believed that sound can influence the taste of wine, the sea is NOT silent--water conducts sound even better than air.
Dont know much about the taste difference but the clay flask looks pretty elegant.
I absolutely adore your channel. You post so often about amazing topics. Keep up the good work!
I can just imagine the premium price just for the story told of how it's made over a glass of wine with friends you want to impress 😄
Interesting concept though, most would be intrigued enough to taste it.🤔😊
beetter yet i want to see him age one bottle outside normally , one in a tank of water and one in the normal method. open them up and switch them around , tell him to try to taste them apart
Hound Life Vlogs it tastes like sweet wine nothing special
Yes very big price in croatia we say Luksuzno :D
its about 210 american dollars
it its deffinetly different but not something too special just the method is interesting
This guy actually thinks that sound influences the aging process of his wine? I'm all for the underwater aged gimmick but that's just silly
Jacob Cacho that is just as much bull as the himalayan salt lamps, I would go as far to say he does it for the electricity bill if he needs it at that tempurature all the time. Makes it more cost effective if nobody owns the land
Nice comment
Well sound I just a series of vibrations. The vibrations might be what he means.
When he meant sounds. he meant the activities that normally involves moving or transferring the objects to one another. For which it ll cause stir in the wine barrel.
Much like making a traditional cotton candy hair where ur not supposed to stir the sugar syrup when boiling in the process. Or else you just form a crystal.
In short, there are process of cooking, baking or brewing where u mustn't stir, otherwise you ll have a different results which is not to ur desirable results
As far as I know about the wine process. To get a strong taste of wine, It has to be in a place where there's little to no occurrence of stir/shake during the aging process.
Not sure bout the sea he lives in. Maybe the current it's so calm ya wouldn't notice anything at all. R simply drop on the sea bed without being drag on by the waves.
Atsu Kana what are salt lamps?
Bruhhhh
What sounds do with the taste of the wine??
Lol basically nothing at all. This guy just tries to justify the fact that he puts his wine in a place thats a pain in the ass to get to in order to win special snowflake points
You can hear noises when you drink the wine, that is why you don't yell at a bottle before you open it
Faisal J scientifically it does 2 things jack... and all
Ya he’s just bs
The waves crashing on his wine and half head will make noise.
I would literally just want this for the jar it is put in. It looks awesome!
No way! I totally dreamt of doing this a year ago, but found the FDA would not allow the sale of wine stored in such a way. My barnacle-y dream died the very day I discovered it!
I'm the only one who probably thought they found millennia old whine. Lol
i actually bought his wine but its not too different it is different like it fells disticnt and tastes amazing but its interesting cause of the story and thats why people buy it
That is so Stunning!!!
0:45 He simply stored bottled wine under the sea, then removes it time later. Liquor absorbs taste from wood in barrels, it doesn't chemically change with glass walls. This seems like a totally lame process.
nothing like going out to sea to fish and finding a good ol bottle of wine!
i could picture Anthony Bourdain diving and getting drunk at this guy's oceanic vinery in the next episode.
I thought the wine is in contact with sealed jars...not in a bottle
Winona me too. Even I thought 💭 the same..
Wow that's amazing, I didn't even know that was a thing
Little does the winemaker know that the ocean produces immense amounts of noise. There's a lot more noise in the ocean than a lot of places on land.
why do i thought that they found a really old wine at a shipwreck or sumthin 😅
PS ikr
Someone should do a blind test versus a traditional wine.
I don't belive that You would taste a difference in a dubble blind Experiment.
However it makes for a great Story and an awesome packaging. :D
how do they prevent people from just stealing the wine. i know they have a lock but all they have to do is just smash it with a hammer and take thousands of dollars worth of wine lol
James Caldwell Have you ever heard of a Patrolling Guard Shark?
Neither have I ....
James Caldwell it would take a boat to store the stolen wine, a diving suit and air capable of 75 feet below sea lvl, and a hammer in water is innefficient
Try swinging a hammer underwater see how it works out
gregistopal yeah lmao
Smash it with a hammer? Thats gonna hurt it like a poke.
Yay finaly Croatian video
I was wondering what would happen if wine was just kept in thick mud containers and making them seal tight without the glass bottle..
This is stupid the wine aged in a cellar before it’s put in a bottle and the sea is quiet tf the sea is definitely not quiet between boats and animals and currents
GREAT IDEA! Where is it sold in the USA?
If I was a fish, those wine bottles will be gone XD
I just thought that was a bombs
Can you do a video about Slovenia?
Where do you find this wine though? Where can it be purchased?
the way she says Pelješac hurts my brain
Peljžezak? ^.^
Pelđezeak
Remember kids, no drinking and diving!
You typically barrel age reds and aim to drink whites while they are young. Reds contain more tannins than white since the juice sits inside the skins and seeds longer, while whites are separated juice from the skin quickly. Reds are usually crushed, while whites are pressed. Aging reds allow the tannins, or other suspended substance, to settle making it silkier and less chalky. Whites are usually better young and bright since they don't have as many tannins are more effect by oxidation than reds.
I’m Serbian I understood everything our languages are very similar
Gdje ste Balkanci? Ima li nas?
Evo nas sigruno da nas ima
I aint buying his bullshit theory! sound of silence surely influences the wine, yeah right! lmao
I don’t think that song would help the wine at all
Just Google it kid it's real
@ninjaunicorn, sure! lol
they look like artillery shells
sound good doesn't work
Great, all we need now is a Drunk Diver. Yes, that's Diver and not Driver
To je skladištenje moj prijatelju, a ne starenje vina...
Ali zanimljiv marketing to sigurno :D
I call shenanigans
I feel like this started out as a dare. But next thing you know we will have drunk sharks.
I learned a valuable today... sound makes wine taste different...
Oh yea... I make my wine
IN SPACE! for the silence of course
I did not know wine was made with BS.
I thought that he actually found a 200-yr-old wine bottle
Im from Serbia, its the same like Croatian but they add the leter j and h so I understood every single word. a little of miss translation but its fine
Some random person is just going to swim down there and get some wine
I can mistake this for a ancient bottle
I thought that sound travels faster and greater underwater.
Wow, just wanna grab and enjoy. Hope it worth's.
How can it possibly have a different taste, it sits in a regular glass bottle?
Ponosni smooo
Tako je. Hrvatska!
So *this* is where Bootstrap Bill got that barnacle-covered bottle of alcohol.
I died inside when she pronounced Pelješac
Someday this channel will have millions and millions of subscribers
Btw they have an app the name is "The Great Big Story"
This is wine to dive for :D
Well that is a unique way
"all the sounds produced in a cellar" .....so none?😂
The type of wine that Davy Jones from Pirates of Caribbean would drink.
Doesn't water also conduct sound very well...?
Does that taste good
Why age it in its own bottle? Where’s the flavor come from? No bacteria can work without putting gassed off that blow bottles up. I’m confused
I'm pretty sure there is a lot of movement and noise under the sea if not even more than the regular wine making cellars
atleast you've got a free oyster
Can you tell me where I can buy the wine?
Croatia fam
Congo
Jarid Gaming don't
Jarid Gaming Croatia
It's probably retardedly overpriced
No wonder the little mermaid thinks that the marine creatures under the sea can talk and sing...
It's all a gimmic !
When the narrator tries to say Pelješac lmao
Us army be like *omg explosives*. *Brings whole army*
He is not the only one
amazing!
Oooh! So cool!💗🖤
😂 you are nuts, the wine would still have the exact same taste left in a cellar, the liquid is already sealed away from the air then you seal it again so no water can reach the bottle but somehow tastes better by some kind of magic
The sound affects the wine...alright I'll believe that after I finish a few bottles
It's a really good scam because the story will make people think that it has a distinct flavour
And how much does he sell one of those bottles for?
I guess you don't have to worry about regulating humidity
Technically, with the currents, waves, tidal movements, motorboating sounds and so forth, all suggests that these wines would be more subject to disruption than in a deep stone walled cellar with natural temperature and humidity control, beneficial fungi, and no sound at all. It's just a marketing ploy to edge a "cool" effect for a chance of selling an warranting overpriced and sub-par quality wine. The wines grown in that Croatian region are actually not known to be great on the global market to begin with.
I need to try this on my channel! 😜🍷
Can I re-up your video with Vietnamese, thanks
Time to go night diving and get some free wine.
Oh why did I think there was some old ship at the bottom of the sea that had old bottles of wine that were still good...
The see isn't silent actually it is really noisy but sound moves so fast there that we can't perseve it
Nice that wine would be really expensive i presume.
Mermaids probably steal this and get drunk 24/7
He really tried to say the wine tastes like silence…
So if Swatches are made in Switzerland then if they’re made in Croatia then they’ll be called...
Crotches
