It’s a short work week. Which means that you’re highly likely to be drinking bubbles this coming Friday. So you might as well do it properly. And by properly, we mean by sabrage.

What is sabrage? I’m so glad you asked:

The opening of a bottle, normally of champagne, by slicing off the bottle’s neck with a sabre sword. 

Isn’t that delightful? But it doesn’t always need to be with a sabre sword. Oh, no. No sir. We challenge you to put one of these techniques to the test.

The Art Of Sabrage

Make sure the bottle is cold, but not icy cold. A spell in the fridge will be just fine. If you ignore this, the bottle will probably shatter, and you’ll look like a tool. 2. Use champagne or MCC, not sparkling wine. A champagne bottle is proven to be stronger and therefore will not break when you hit it. 3. Hit that puppy with a gentle, fluid movement. No whacking, please.
