And according to the Santa Barbara County, California, district attorney’s office, that includes unpermitted crates of wine.
Agencies in Santa Barbara County destroyed 2,000 bottles of wine that were sold by the company Ocean Fathoms, the office of the county’s district attorney announced last week.
Ocean Fathoms lauded the sea floor off the Southern California coast as the perfect environment to age wine — 55 degrees, no oxygen, no light and rolling currents.
CNN has reached out to Ocean Fathoms, Azzaretto and Hahn for comment.
Ocean Fathoms highlighted the creatures on its website, writing, “sea life that attaches to our bottle is the ultimate in nature’s packaging.
