Sabrage: how to saber a bottle of champagne

Sabering a bottle of champagne is a technique used to open a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine by striking the neck of the bottle with a sword or other flat, sharp object. The process involves holding the bottle at a 45-degree angle and striking the neck of the bottle with the blade where the neck of the bottle meets the base of the cork. The force of the blow should cause the cork and the top of the bottle to fly off. It is important to be careful when sabering a bottle of champagne as the cork and glass shards can be dangerous.
