Techniques of Mastering The Art of Sabrage with Champagne Saber

New Vs Old Technique of Sabering a
Champagne
Sabrage or champagne sabering has been used as a fancy
way or art a long time ago. It is said that sabrage was used
by the Hussars, Napoleon’s Bonaparte’s cavalrymen.
During wins and defeats in the battle, these men prefer to
celebrate or mourn drinking champagnes. Their curved
swords or also known by many as a saber.
Sabering or Sabrage
Sabrage is traditionally used for entertainment and a ceremonial
moment. The blade of the saber will be slid from the neck up to the
lip of the bottle as it breaks the entire lip of the bottle together
with the cork. The force of the blunted blade helps the pressure
inside the as the lip separates the collar from the neck as it breaks
away from the neck.

Mastering The Art
It may look difficult to master, but all it takes is a bit of
practice and you are on your way to becoming a sabrage expert.
However, when practicing, it is highly recommended not to use
an ordinary knife or kitchen knife. the blade of champagne
sabers or champagne swords are blunt since the art does not
require a sharp blade perfecting the execution.
The Actual Science
The science behind sabering is not
as complicated as it seems. As you
may already know, champagne is
so bubble for one reason and that
is because of the fact that such
wine is fermented with sugars that
forms carbon dioxide gas.

It must be performed at a suitable temperature. It must be
served cold, but not too cold otherwise, you’ll jeopardize the
science behind the art. Having it chilled in a bucket full of ice
and leave it for about 15 minutes or so will do. You can put
the bottle upside down so the neck will be properly
chilled. before doing so, make sure that you removed the foil
and the cork wire.
Conclusion
Perfecting this new art of uncorking, or should I say, an old way
of uncorking requires practice, the right knowledge behind the
actual science and the right tool using a champagne sword or
champagne saber. Practice would not make the art perfect since
no one is perfect, but practice can make you better.
