Wine bottle opening technique
Sabrage ( sə-BRAHZH, French: [sabʁaʒ] ) is a ceremonial technique for opening a bottle of champagne or other sparkling wine by striking it with a sword. The blade is placed towards the base of the bottle and slid along the neck; when it hits the lip, it breaks the glass, separating the collar of the bottle from its neck. The cork and collar remain together. This can be done using the dull side of a saber or sword, but is today most often done using a special unsharpened champagne sword.
