While most of us have raised a glass of bubbles to mark life’s milestones, few have witnessed – let alone mastered – the ritual of sabrage, a fancy term for slicing open a bottle of sparkling wine with a sword.
Said to have been invented in the late 1700s by French general Napolean Bonaparte, who would use his sabre to open bottles of Champagne while toasting victory on horseback, it was originally a symbol of triumph.
