The “sabrage” is a French tradition that was born during the Napoleon’s period when the cavalry officers where used to celebrate their victory on the war fields opening the champagne bottle with a sword stroke. Now it’s a deed that pleasantly astonish the friends and cheer up a party. Important: - Due to the fact that the cork could reach the distance of 6-8 meters , be careful that the space in front of the bottle is free and the people around you keep a security distance. - If the action won’t be successful at the first time, we suggest to change the bottle in order to avoid an irregular cut. - The average inside pressure of a sparkling wine bottle is 6 atmospheres and because of that the glass fragments wont go inside the bottle. - Due to the hardness of the glass which is higher than the tempered blade it’s normal that a mark could be left on the edge of the blade - but don’t be upset because that’s the beauty of the things you really use!
