Belgian diver Stefan Panis recovered an intact, 162-year-old bottle of Guinness from an 1864 shipwreck off Dover. Because the bottle was stored upside-down, a pressurized seal may have kept seawater out, leaving the stout potentially drinkable. Scientists at KU Leuven University are now analyzing the bottle to see if they can extract DNA to recreate the original 1860s recipe, a project being monitored by Guinness owner Diageo.
