Well they say it tastes good. Amazing after all that time. I thought that white wines don't keep.

Apparently it was amazing, the divers cracked one open but I would not be surprised if that's solely to bump the value up!!

I am no expert but someone told me that red wines will keep in the right conditions but white wines are far more difficult.
