A Tale of Four Bottles

It was the best of wine and it was the best of Champagne

Separated by thousands of miles, from France to Sweden to the Crimea, and back to France, one sunk by a WW1 submarine, another sold by an international auction house and the two others linked by Sir Winston Churchill and WW2.
