The Art of Sabrage

If you want to impress your friends at the next big Champagne toast, open the bottle with a saber! With the proper training and the proper saber you can learn to remove both the cork and glass collar with one smooth move, leaving the neck and bottle intact with little loss of liquid.

A selection of sabers and info on upcoming sabrage classes are available at Coast 2 Coast Collections. 1114 State Street. 805-845-7888.
