France: Undersea cellaring service preparing to launch

(Decanter) - The world's first undersea wine cellaring service 1,000m deep and 150km off the Atlantic Coast will open next year.
Frank Labeyrie, of Chateau du Coureau in Côtes de Bordeaux Cadillac, hopes to open his cellaring service, Vin Mille Lieu Sous Les Mers – a pun on the French title of the Jules Verne’s classic, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea – in mid 2013
Labeyrie believes that the ocean’s constant cool temperatures, zero oxygen and zero light will help the wines age slowly, so keeping intensity of fruit for longer, and deepening flavour.
