Sabrage – sabres for celebratory moments
The art of celebration in Napoleonic style
Sabrage is a prestigious technique for opening bottles of sparkling wine and champagne that adds a touch of luxury and an unforgettable experience to any social occasion. This ritual, made famous by Napoleonic hussars, consists of removing the neck of the bottle with a special sabre. Our collection offers sabrage sabres that are a masterful combination of history, elegance and functional design.

Why choose a special sabre for sabrage?
Unlike historical weapons, sabres intended for sabrage are designed with a blunt edge. In this technique, it is not about cutting, but about a clean strike to the collar of the bottle neck.
- Quality materials: Stainless steel blades are constructed to withstand pressure and ensure a clean glass break.
- Ergonomics and safety: A balanced handle allows precise and smooth movement along the seam of the bottle.
- Prestigious design: Richly decorated handles and elegant cases make the sabre an ideal gift item for wine lovers and collectors.
How to achieve perfect sabrage? (Brief guide)
Successful sabrage requires proper preparation and technique. For a safe result, we recommend following these steps:
- Cooling: The bottle of sparkling wine must be thoroughly chilled (ideally to 6–8 °C) to increase the brittleness of the glass.
- Preparation: Remove the foil and wire cage from the neck of the bottle.
- Execution: Find the longitudinal seam on the bottle. Slide the sabre smoothly along the seam up to the neck, where you strike the glass ring with a short, decisive motion.
Whether you are planning a wedding, anniversary or looking for an exclusive gift for men, a sabrage sabre is a symbol of celebration, victory and elegance.
Notice: Always perform sabrage with consideration for the safety of people nearby and direct the bottle into open space.
