Divers have found bottles of champagne some 230 years old on the bottom of the Baltic which a wine expert described Saturday as tasting “fabulous”.

Thought to be premium brand Veuve Clicquot, the 30 bottles discovered perfectly preserved at a depth of 55 metres (180 feet) could have been in a consignment sent by France’s King Louis XVI to the Russian Imperial Court.

If confirmed, it would be by far the oldest champagne still drinkable in the world, thanks to the ideal conditions of cold and darkness.

“We have contacted (makers) Moet & Chandon and they are 98 percent certain it is Veuve Clicquot,” Christian Ekstroem, the head of the diving team said.

Dom Pérignon is paying tribute to the founder of Pop Art, Andy Warhol.

Inspired by Warhol’s unconventional talent when using icons to represent shapes and fun colors, Dom Pérignon has reinterpreted his legendary first bottle with a stunning Limited Edition.

The result is a unique collection of six unique bottles inspired by the famous artist’s color sets (blue, red, violet, emerald green, lilac and yellow).

Once again, Veuve Clicquot trusts Denis Boudard of QSLD Paris, to create its new giftbox: The Veuve Clicquot Fridge.

Ten years ago, Veuve Clicquot was revolutionizing the champagne consumption with its Clicquot Icebox. This box allowed savoring one’s favorite vintage at the ideal temperature.

From then on, Veuve Clicquot chose to rethink every year its coolbox collection, in order to offer freedom to consume champagne anytime anywhere.

Champagne tastemakers Moët & Chandon have unveiled their first and only vintage of ice champagne, Moët & Chandon Ice Imperial.

A blend of pinot noir, pinot meunier, and chardonnay, this new champagne has a tropical blend of fruit and floral notes, and is intended to be consumed on the rocks.

The Moët Imperial Ice will be available only in the most exclusive resorts around the world.

US champagne sales are bubbling, with strong gains in the first two months of the year, according to the trade group for the producers.

The US Champagne Bureau, part of the CIVC trade group, said January 2010 shipments rose 22.5 percent and February’s surged 95 percent year-over-year.

“Almost two million bottles were shipped to the US in the first two months of this year,” said the trade group’s communications director Daniel Lorson on Friday.

In celebration of the return of “Sex and the City” to big screen, Moët & Chandon has created 4 champagne cocktails inspired by the film’s dazzling leading ladies.

There is the Fashionista, which could only be Carrie. Miranda’s cocktail is the Player, Charlotte’s is the Socialite, and the Bombshell is, naturally, Samantha’s.
