(FoxNews) - It was a risk and an experiment never tried before in the U.S.  Who thought the aging wine in salt water would work?

Mira Winery made history in February as the first American winery to experiment with aging wine in the ocean, when divers placed four cases of 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon in specially designed cages in the Charleston Harbor.  

“It’s the first time we’ve ever done it – anybody’s ever done it in the United States,” Mira Winemaker, Gustavo Gonzalez told Foxnews.com.

Now the results are in with some stunning results. 

The goal was to test the affects on ocean-aged wine versus same aged wine in warehouses. The major elements that can affect aging are temperature, humidity, pressure, motion, light – or lack thereof- and oxygen.
