Cognac.

This is coolbert:

300 bottles of cognac against Rome?

Valuable treasure hidden for a century as a result of war recovered. A good news item with the war dimension.

"300 bottles of Cognac recovered from ship sunk in WWI could fetch nearly £8,000 EACH: French shipment on Swedish steamer bound for tsarist Russia ended up at bottom of the Baltic Sea after German U-boat strike"

From the "Daily Mail" the article by By SHARI MILLER FOR MAILONLINE  | UPDATED: 26 June 2022.

* "Bottles were salvaged in 2019 by a specialist Swedish team near the Baltic Sea: * "600 bottles of cognac and 300 bottles of Benedictine were brought to shore" * "Swedish steamer Kyros was sunk by German submarine during First World War" * "Now bottles have been cleaned, refilled and are on sale for nearly £8,000 each [nearly $10,000 USD]" 

"A hoard of contraband alcohol recovered from a shipwreck 100 years after it sank on its way to tsarist Russia is going on sale for nearly £8,000 a bottle."

Damned Germans always up to no good. U-boat sinking the neutral Swedish vessel without provocation. I can bet too the Imperial Russian household mad as hell at the time too.

Those expensive bottles of cognac will be more of a collector item with expected appreciation almost instantly?
