The California Champagne Saber’s heritage is dual. It at once represents the American wine industry and the winemaking, sommelier heritage of California while still paying homage to Champagne, and the Champagne Saber’s origins in France. The Champagne Sabre is the centerpiece of all dinner parties and celebrations. By running the saber sword along the neck of the champagne bottle the neck of the bottle breaks away cleanly, leaving the base of the neck intact, ready to be poured from. This ceremonial technique termed sabrage in France is a formal art form – part hedonist and part conqueror, the art of sabrage dates back to Napoleon and the origins of the French Champagne tradition. A Champagne Saber makes a marvelous gift, a gorgeous decoration in any home, and one with a tradition of celebratory purpose.
