200 Year Old Seltzer Found in Shipwreck

th century that man fully managed to exploit the natural source of mineral water. The Selters soon became popular all over the world and it began being sold all across the world – right from Florence and St. Petersburg to New York and London. It was called as the Selters Liquid Treasure back then and was always delivered in uniquely designed clay jugs. The high quality water and refined tastes soon made Selters synonymous with the finest mineral water in the world. In fact, Selters was the prototype of the word famous Seltzer soda water. Experts believe that although not unexpected, it is still extremely rare to be able to find a fully corked bottle of Selters from the period in reference. Bednarz stated that the bottle definitely contained some liquid and he also seemed sure that it was definitely not sea water. Although this ancient Seltzers bottle is expected to contain the original Selters water, Bednarz also stated that he wouldn’t eliminate the possibility of the bottle being full of wine. He says that excellent shape in which Seltzer bottles were designed made them handy for storing other liquids as well, once the water was finished. Bednarz states that the advantage of corked bottles were that they could be used, reused and corked whenever required. He also stated that the group planned on checking the contents of the bottle. Hopefully, we should finally get an answer in a few days whether the bottle contained the purest form of mineral water or an old world wine, both of which sound to be a delicious prospect. ]]>
