Opening/Sabering Champagne

Opening/Sabering Champagne

Sabering Champagne goes back to the days of Napoleon!  In order to saber your champagne correctly, you need to make sure it’s cold.  The second step is to remove the foil from the outside.  You’ll notice there is a seam on the outside of the champagne bottle where the seam meets the bottle.  You’ll use your saber or butter knife to hit that spot – the spot where the seam meets the bottle. Once you hit that spot, the cork will pop right out. Then you can celebrate by drinking your bottle of champagne.
