The operation to raise old champagne bottles from a shipwreck at the bottom of the Baltic Sea is set to cost the Åland Provincial Government about EUR 80,000.
The Swedish company Anders Näsman Service has been contracted to bring the bubbly to the surface.
It hopes to conduct the operation as soon as possible.
An estimated 70 bottles of champagne were found in July by divers in a sunken vessel off the island of Föglö in the Åland Islands.
Experts believe that the shipwreck dates back to the early 19th century.
The sailing vessel with the champagne is lying at a depth of 45 metres.
The bottles are believed to be virtually priceless if the contents are drinkable. One sample bottle has been quaffed and passed as excellent.
