How can wine bottles and other objects that sunk with the Titanic withstand the extreme pressure of 12,500 feet below the surface?

Wine bottles is does not survive the descent, the corks were pressed into the bottle and then both the inside and outside have the same pressure.
There is a huge difference between the pressure on all sides of a solid or liquid object compared to lower pressure on one side, it pressure difference that breaks an object. Solid materials taht do not contain a significant amount if gas will survive that pressure without any problems
What do compress when you increase pressure gases, that is why the corks were pressed into the bottle, there is some gas in them too.
