1. Steps to Sabering
Champagne Correctly

2. When sabering a bottle of champagne always remember
that you have to use the right tool in order for you to
execute the art well.
Kitchen knife or other long knives you can find at your very
own kitchen won’t do the trick; in fact the execution might
go wrong.
Truly, it is a fun way to kick off a ceremony and impress
your visitors before having a drink.

3. Champagne sabre
Essentially, you need champagne sword or champagne
sabre to execute sabrage nicely. Champagne sabre is
especially design to cut the lip of the bottle with right
amount of force and weight. It is a fine collection for many
champagne and wine enthusiast whereas, this tool brings
back you in the Napoleonic era.

4. The blade itself is intended for sabering and it is not
recommended to cut meat or thrusting. In fact,
champagne sabre blade has no sharp edge. There are
wide varieties of top premium class champagne sword
you can find over the web from the most outstanding
champagne sword or champagne sabre manufacturing in
the world.

5. Sabering Champagne
Now that you have the right tool, it is time for you to learn
the basics of sabering champagne.
First, different bottles have their own different thickness.
You should always be aware that there are two different
kinds of champagne and these are the non-vintage and the
vintage ones.
Of course, the vintage champagnes are way too costly
compared with non-vintage You don’t want to cut those
pricey bottle’s lips don’t you? Yes, even the vintage
champagne bottles have their price value.

6. Temperature and angle
The trick of sabering is all about chemical reaction coming
from the inside. With the right coldness of the bottle, the
execution will be less difficult and it will only require you to
use a bit of pressure when you strike.
Make sure that the lip and the neck of the bottle are
properly chilled but not ice cold. Remove the foil and the
cage around the cork and hold the bottle for about 30-45
degrees. Make sure to point the bottle where no one will
get hurt.

7. Seam
As you remove the foil of the bottle, you’ll find a centerline
of the bottle or also called as seam. The seam is the weak
spot of the bottle and this is where the trick gets trickier.
This is where the two halves of the bottle join together.
This is where you are going to slide your champagne sword
to get rid of the bottle’s lip.

8. The slide
If you are anxious about performing sabrage for the first
time, you can slide the sword slowly and gently to the lip.
By this way, you can get the movement you will need
before executing sabrage.
As you get comfortable with the angle, quickly slide the
blade towards that lip of the bottle. Take note that you
should hold the bottle firmly. With the right amount of
force and chemical reaction, the lip together with the cork
will go like a cannon ball.
