BBC NEWS | UK | World's oldest champagne opened

BBC NEWS | UK | World's oldest champagne opened: "The world's oldest champagne, bottled before Victoria became Queen, is still drinkable, with notes of 'truffles and caramel', according to the experts.

An 'addictive' bottle of 1825 Perrier-Jouet was opened at a ceremony attended by 12 of the world's top wine tasters.

Their verdict: the 184-year-old champagne tasted better than some of its younger counterparts."
