Inspired by the stories of undersea-aged champagne, they came up with the idea to store local wine there. In 2014, they placed the first few hundred bottles into the sea. After a year, when they retrieved the first bottles, they were delighted by the wine's special aroma, prompting them to continue storing new bottles underwater every year. “In comparison to other wines aged in water, specifically th...

The car-carrying train, which involves loading your vehicle onto a train while you travel comfortably in a passenger car, still exists in Austria. The journey to Croatia from Vienna through Slovenia takes 14 hours and guarantees a much smaller carbon footprint.
