Uncle Zitos New Zealand PULLTEX SABRE A CHAMPAGNE PX10784000

A tradition of 'sabring' a bottle of Champagne comes from the time of Napoleon. His soldiers, Hussards, when celebrating their victories, would knock the top off the bottle with thier sabre while they were on horseback. This tradition is still present in some wedding parties or informal dinners, sans horse. A bottle of champagne can be opened by giving to the bottle neck a strong knock with a sabre. The top of the neck will come off leaving the neck of the bottle open and ready to pour. SABRE
