They Saved Hitler’s Champagne

Hitler’s champagne to go under the hammer

It is probably undrinkable and could be poisoned, but a bottle of champagne from the personal cellar of Adolf Hitler is expected to go for hundreds of pounds when it goes under the hammer.

The 1937 bottle of Moet and Chandon was brought to Britain by a soldier who was in Berlin when the Nazis were defeated and was given to solicitor Nigel Wilson as a gift for some legal work 15 years.

And now it is going to be sold by Charterhouse auctioneers in Sherborne, Dorset on August 17.

Everyone’s always in favor of saving Hitler’s brain, but when you put it in the body of a great white shark, ooh, suddenly you’ve gone too far.
— Professor Hubert Farnsworth
