Dating back to the early 1800s in France, sabrage began when Napoleon’s cavalry toasted victories in the Champagne region by slicing open bottles with their sabres. Today, the ritual uses a blunt-edged sword to strike the bottle’s lip, cleanly removing the glass collar and cork in one confident motion. What started as a battlefield celebration has evolved into a ceremonial flourish embraced by sommeliers and celebrants around the world. Though it may look daring, proper positioning and a firm, decisive strike make sabrage both safe and spectacular—perfect for marking weddings, anniversaries or any special occasion.
