AUGUSTA, Australia -- An Aussie abalone grower is offering a unique product to tempt curious wine enthusiasts: a wine matured at the bottom of the crystal blue ocean on the country's southwest coast.

Ocean Signature wine, produced by Rare Foods Australia (RFA), is bottle-aged for one year at ocean depths of 15 to 20 meters.
