Master the Art of Sabrage with Champagne Sabre
Never use any kinds of tools aside from Champagne Sabre or champagne sword. Perhaps you are thinking at the moment to use your regular kitchen knife or anything that is sharp to cut the lip. But, champagne sabering does not require sharp blade.
The Bottle Different champagne manufacturers may produce different types of bottles. Therefore, you may encounter differently but all in all, the technique is still the same. We begin with the bottle. Before cutting the lip of the bottle make sure that it is cold. This helps the pressure from the chemical inside that pushes the cork together with the lip to fly.
Prepration Make sure to wipe the bottle with clean tablecloth or napkin before you begin. Remove the foil and the wire that supports the cork. While your doing this, it is highly suggested to support the cork using your thumb. There are some instances where the cork automatically flies as soon as you remove the wire cage. It spoils the moment so make sure you never forget about this.
Getting Ready The lines that separate each side of the bottle is called seam. This is where you are going to slide the blade from the neck to the lip. You can do a bit of aiming repeatedly until your muscles get used to it. Make sure when doing so, the bottle is 40 degree in angle and no one will get hurts.
The Swing Now it is time for you beheading the bottle. You don’t need to use such force in order perfect it. In fact, as mentioned, the technique here is what happens inside the bottle. All you need is to use a little pressure to make that cork fly. Before you serve the champagne, make sure to let the bubbles flow to eliminate small glass fragments.
