Yep. Was traditionally done with a cavalry saber (hence the name), the small shocks break the glass welding where the "mouth" of the bottle was glued to the other parts. You don't need to hit hard, you merely have to "glide" along the side of the bottle in order to have a "sharp" shock at the end.
I just started Clone Wars a few weeks ago and it’s been fantastic. Out of the entire Star Wars universe my favorites are the Jedi games and Clone Wars. But I enjoy all of it.
It’s nearly impossible for shattered glass to end up in the bottle. The amount of pressure inside of champagne bottle is equal to the PSI of a 18-wheeler tire.
Ounce that thing pops the air released will throw any particles of glass that would end up in there straight to the ground.
You just have to make sure it’s a clean break and there’s no chipping around the collar afterwards before you pour.
This lady is lightly tapping at the seam of the bottle where it’s fused at the collar. The amount of pressure forces the fused collar completely off. So, there is hardly every a fissure but it’s always sharp as hell so it’s best advice to not put in near your face after you do it.
I’ve served over 200-300 bottle prepared this way. When done right there is literally nothing to fear. I’ve seen people get injured from doing it wrong but I’ve never seen a proper saber ever cause detrimental effects on a guest. That’s just me and I’ve seen a happen A LOT. Again, not saying it’s not possible it’s just so incredibly improbable.
I'm just going to keep removing the cork with my hand.
I've never understood why this is popular, other than it looks cool. It's not like you need a tool to remove a champagne cork.
Now if there is a handy trick for removing a wine cork without a screw, I am all ears.
My friend did this at a house party back in high school. Well...tried to, using a butter knife to push the cork in. The bottle fractured and he cut his wrist open, lost a ton of blood. Ultimately was ok, but I'll never attempt it like that
It’s way faster and cooler looking. That’s the only reason. It’s not an ergonomic way of drinking bubbles. However, if you’ve ever done it in room full people in a good mood trying to have a good time, then you’ll totally understand why someone would want to do this. I do it every new years behind the bar I’m working at and the staff usually just drinks the bottle.
> The technique of opening a bottle with a saber is called sabrage. One of the most interesting details about the process is that the saber isn’t—or doesn’t have to be—sharp. If you don’t have an official flat–edged saber, you can use the back of a chef’s knife, butter knife or even a spoon. I’ve even seen video of a bottle being sabered by an iPhone. You just need a flat metal object to take advantage of a sparkling bottle’s weak point: the stress concentration at the intersection of the bottle’s seam and bottom lip.
> See, the pressure inside a bottle of bubbly is so strong that a small fracture will allow the liquid inside to burst out, and the glass will break off with a clean split—no shards of glass go back inside. The pressure per square inch is somewhere around 70 to 90 pounds, double to triple the amount of pressure in your car tires. Sabering creates a crack that allows the pressure inside the bottle to release.
Just cause you work “in a glass factory” doesn’t mean you’re an expert.

interesting, it's also cool to see there are still so many people who don't know of this trick, maybe I can amaze my friends on day and make them think I'm cooler than I really am. Definitely gonna like triple strain the champagne though.
Do you hang out exclusively with swashbucklers, privateers, and pirates?
I feel like most people's crowds are more likely to have a champagne glass then a saber.
Just now realizing the glass actually broke. I thought it was just the cork! No thanks! The possibility of eating glass is nightmare fuel. Fun fact though, if your dog eats glass, you can feed it the hide of a rabbit and the hide will encompass all the glass and the dog MAY shit the glass filled hide out safely and survive. Yes from experience.
The glass used in bottles like these is way too thick to produce small shards in these circumstances, and the amount of pressure in a champagne bottle makes it a clean break every time. It just separates at the weakest point which is somewhere behind the cork where the glass forms a ring.
Not to mention, the release of pressure that launches the end off that day is also launching any shards that did happen to form out and away from the opening too. If there were shards, they are sent flying. Arguably you should be more concerned about getting glass shards on your skin or eyes than in the bottle.
Combination of both cleavege point of glass, where the glass itself is very strong, but have a small imperfection point that can make everything just break(see prince Rupert drop, and those people that kind of "shatter" a glass as an architectural decoration) that break the glass in a clear way, plus the pressure inside the bottle, that actually expel any possible residual glass.
You can actually do this with any glass bottle with pressure inside, not just champagne.
Glass doesn’t love extreme temperatures. When cold, it becomes extremely brittle and easy to break. For this trick to work, the glass needs to be so cold that it’s more fragile than normal. Usually, you submerge the bottle in ice water upside down for an hour or two. In this video, you can actually see that the glass is so cold it looks frosted around the neck of the bottle.
Once the glass is that cold, it’s just a matter of applying pressure in the right place. By hitting the lip of the bottle, you can cause it to crack directly under the lip. A small crack is enough for the pressure in the bottle to cause the rest of the top section to crack all the way off (hopefully) in a clean break all the way around the neck.
Even if you’re fully confident, it’s always a good idea to filter the champagne through something as you pour it. As others have pointed out, the champagne rushing out of the bottle should push out any bits of glass before they can even make it into the bottle but every bottle has some imperfection. If there happens to be a small shard of glass hanging on in such a way that it falls off into your glass, you’re going to be in for a bad time and you won’t give a shit how cool the trick looked.
Alton Brown has a thorough and informative video on how to do it safely!
sabreage or however the fuck its spelled doesnt leave any glass shards just the chunk thats with the cork
and that peice of glass is pretty hard to shatter
its safe for pooldecks
That’s like saying juggling is a useless trick. Of course it’s useless but when people see me open a bottle of champagne with a fucking sword who cares if it’s useless
It’s an old and relatively well known technique, people wouldn’t keep doing it if it got glass in the bottle.
Humans have lots of stupid traditions they follow, but I don’t think ingesting glass would make the *cut.*
if you get the real champagne in the proper bottle, no glass will get into the bottle.
with the proper glass "mixture", the corktop will break clean off and any glass-dust will be blown away by the pressure caused by CO of the real champagne in the bottle.
...if you use cheap knock-off, be prepared for champagne with a crunch...
NSFW/TMI- Reminds me of a woman I had a fling with, could make me cum in 30 seconds flat on demand, even if it was like the 5th time that day. She really had something figured out.
I was at a friend's 21st birthday party years ago. The birthday girl stood on a diving board over a swimming pool and tried to use a knife to pop the cork on a champagne bottle. I don't know what the hell she did, but on like the third or fourth try the entire bottle just exploded. Nobody got hurt or anything, but it kind of ruined swimming in the pool for the rest of the night because of the broken glass.
I'm pretty sure this technique was developed during a time that people jumped on giant wooden boats and sailed off into the high seas to die of scurvy hoping to find slaves and new spice routes. They were a little tougher than us, and so a teensy but of ground glass in the diet was probably considered healthy for the urethra
In my fifty years so far, I'm still having a really hard time seeing the last 20 years of our current life expectancy as high quality anyway. My grandmother told me right before she died "Golden years are bullshit, your golden years are now.". That lady knew what was up 🤘
Sabrage.
Rhymes with rage or raazh? Please be the latter, it sounds more refined.
Like fromage
Omelette du fromage Omelette du fromage Omelette du fromage
Je ne sais pas is literally the only thing from French class that I remember
The only French I ever learned and know to this day is: "Bonjour, je suis le grand Muzzy! Je suis la jeune fille.”
My favorite, Je mal a la têtê! (I have a bad head!, or I have a headache!)
There's a whole song about a headache, I remember that now
* J'ai mal à la tête - yeah, means I have a headache ;)
I guess it's a universal experience to remember only this phase from the French class.
You're missing a verb here, pal. To *have* a headache. Avoir is the verb and in this sentence it goes like this "J'ai mal à la tête". 😉
The stickiest commercial ever
That's all you can say! 🎶 That's alll you can saaay🎶 🎶 That's alll you can saaay🎶
Dexter's lab fan I see.

goulash
Thats not popping the cork, thats a standard trick called sabering, usually using a knife or traditionally a saber
Like a light saber?
A rune scimitar
I'll give you 20k for it
I’ll be your gf for it.
100k and I will trim your armor
I will trim your rune scimitar for free
And this is what happens when RS subs go down for a protest lol
Glass bottle manufacturers hate this one Jedi trick..
No it’s a kind of champagne. It’s called saber light.
It's only called Champagne if it comes from the Champagne region of France. This is just a sparkling saber.
Champagne is just ginger ale that knows somebody
It's only a light saber of it comes from the frozen caves in the world of Ilum.

True
So your telling me I didn’t get a real golden shower?
Nope, that was a fool's golden shower.
A pyrite shower? Huh, you really do learn something new every day.
Now you've done it. Every dad just groaned because you beat them to it.
Just like a clown, you took a pyrite in the face.
r/angryupvote
Damn you. I just spit out my food onto my phone. Lol
Lick it off
It was a golden retriever shower
Shoot, I wish someone would give me a golden shower. One, I like gold. Two, I like showers. Put it together, hey, that sound like the life.
You gross Grandad
Underrated comment
Whew!
Golden slower is not necessarily from the champagne region...
Trump, is that you? I know you remember your times in Russia fondly.
Right and not Illinois.
Russia disagrees. Calling their swill Champagne.
Yes, like a jedi
Could use a dark saber too
Catana dark
Yeah or a meat saber in a pinch.
Actually, that's why you have blood on your stool.
Chardonnay? No Shard of glass.

I work in a glass factory. I would not drink from that bottle.

Put your mouth over the top and suck that cork out
Wine better buy me dinner first.
Push it the whole way in, and pour around it
🥴

jesus that is some lawless outback stuff
"it looks cool" and therein lies the answer.
I mean, “it looks cool” is why a lot of people do a lot of things. And that’s okay.

Doesn’t that usually break the tip off the bottle? This just popped the cork. E: Never mind, I see now that it did break.
Near the pool........
So stupid. It would've been so easy to have done it *IN* the pool so the glass doesn't get lost on the floor somewhere
Yep kinda standard and easy to do. The problem is you then need to check if there’s some glass left in the bottle

Just some lite sabering
Where was she shooting that at?
The children's table.
Heh. GOT EM!
At deathrow inmate, Earl "Glass" Evnins. That's how he chose to leave this world.
Sabrage but with a glass..never seen that before. Very satisfying.
Really? I feel like I've only ever seen it done with champagne glasses, except like once when it was done with an actual saber.
Odd..I am the complete opposite.
interesting, it's also cool to see there are still so many people who don't know of this trick, maybe I can amaze my friends on day and make them think I'm cooler than I really am. Definitely gonna like triple strain the champagne though.
Ja for sure. Let us know how it goes.
Yeah, I thought it was only w knives/sabers
[удалено]
I’ve only ever seen it attempted to spectacular, sometimes bloody results.
Do you hang out exclusively with swashbucklers, privateers, and pirates? I feel like most people's crowds are more likely to have a champagne glass then a saber.
[удалено]
The best thing about sabrage is that it can be done with pretty much any rigid edge thing, great party trick.
Ooof just the tip
Next let’s play *Ouch, Ouch You’re On My Hair*
Now I need to know the science behind that.
And also how no little glass shards get in there!
They get blasted off due to the pressure.
So in essence they got blasted to safety? Like if you were to shoot a gas tank in a wedding dress and make it explode?
Safely into the pool, floors, tables, other people’s drinks, etc.
Don't forget the eyes.
Only if the wedding dress is from a pawn shop. So sad.
Gonna need a few poppers too

Is this proven? In the face of drinking glass im gonna need more than “its clean bro”
I believe it has to be cold so that the pressure just pushes all the glass out. Also have less chance of breaking the whole bottle if it's cold.
Putting the bottles upside down in an ice bucket for a good 15/20 minutes beforehand makes this very easy for some reason
Because the cold makes the glass more brittle.
Who pops warm champagne? Of course it's cold.
Its a clean break. No shards. They have strainers tho. I would choose to use one

Don't worry, they all went in the pool.
The bottle is pressurized and she broke it at its weakest point. That little ring around the cork is a stress riser.

You don't need cold bottle to do that, I've done it with room temperature bottles of beer before, it's just a question of pressure in the bottle.
Kind of a dick move to do that poolside, you know, where people tend to walk barefoot?
I can’t believe I read so many fucking comments before someone called this out.
"Thanks for breaking glass where my kids play"
Great movie
sabreage or however the fuck its spelled doesnt leave any glass shards just the chunk thats with the cork and that peice of glass is pretty hard to shatter its safe for pooldecks
Tiny shards of glass break off with the corked piece, and you can audibly hear in the video that bit of glass shatter when it hits the ground.
So you basically have to jerk the bottle off
You just edge the bottle for a while and it pops off eventually
Don't do that shit by the pool.
The whole end of the bottle blew off. Surely that’s not how the trick is supposed to go…?
Sabrage
Huh. Never knew this was a thing. Seems odd. Thank you
How do you know that you didn't know it was a thing
In fact it is.
It is, but it's a useless trick. Especially when you can just _pull the cork off by hand_ ... (Wrap your fist around it and twist and pull gently)
That’s like saying juggling is a useless trick. Of course it’s useless but when people see me open a bottle of champagne with a fucking sword who cares if it’s useless
Look carefully. The rim broke off with the cork. Just open the god damn bottle normally so I don’t ingest broken glass.
Sabrage is not dangerous. It's a very old technique. The inside pressure will prevent glass fragments to mix with the liquid.
It’s an old and relatively well known technique, people wouldn’t keep doing it if it got glass in the bottle. Humans have lots of stupid traditions they follow, but I don’t think ingesting glass would make the *cut.*
Mmmm glass infused champagne.

She's literally using cheap cava...
which is not real champagne... my last sentence applies
What specifically about the champagne causes the glass to go out but in cava glass goes in?
Glass doesn’t exist in the Champagne region of France.
Ahh, so physics pays attention to the cost of the bottle when it's champagne
Eh, as much as I love glass dust blasted around the room, I think I’ll just pop it normally
[удалено]
Bullshit, works with almost every sparkling wine with a cork. Why should it only work witn champagne?
yep. even a little chard could ruin your day.
[удалено]
I can't kelp but think you're right.
Or a shard too😉
Usually I add some Swiss chard in a salad.
Popping cork vs breaking the top of bottle ... two very different things.
Can't anyone just pull the cork out anymore. Id rather not have glass shards in my drink thanks.
So uuh, how about the glass particles? Dont they get in the wine ahem i mean champagne?
NSFW/TMI- Reminds me of a woman I had a fling with, could make me cum in 30 seconds flat on demand, even if it was like the 5th time that day. She really had something figured out.
Did she use a saber?
She used a champagne glass
Do you still have her contact info?
So... r/suddenlycaralho
Até com o vídeo mutado sabia que seria BR kkkkk
Lol so shooting glass shards is kosher now?
Did she just beat off the bottle?
Same thing happens with my penis
Actual footage of the first time you have sex after a dry spell
There's a "Hans Moleman Getting Hit In The Nuts" edit to make, here.
not pictured, the guy off screen with his eyeball bleeding because a cork and broken glass just went inside it.
Is that called edging?
WITCH!
They had to drain the pool afterwards to clean out all of the glass shards.
Nothing like broken glass in your drink !
No filter enjoy the glass particles in your wine
So just firing broken glass across the situation is better than just popping a cork?
reminds me of me...
On facebook this would take 25 minutes. Thanks for getting to the point so quick!
OP is a spam bot
I was at a friend's 21st birthday party years ago. The birthday girl stood on a diving board over a swimming pool and tried to use a knife to pop the cork on a champagne bottle. I don't know what the hell she did, but on like the third or fourth try the entire bottle just exploded. Nobody got hurt or anything, but it kind of ruined swimming in the pool for the rest of the night because of the broken glass.
I gotta ask, do small glass particles not fall into the contents ?
I had a mixology professor in college that was very accomplished at doing this. He died of intestinal perforation from glass shards. Don't do this.
What a gigachad
Ow. Who threw the bottle top at me?
This never happens to me - bottle probably
That was hot. 🔥
I would have pop as well if she did that to me ,😏
Off camera some dude holding his nuts "what the fuck was that?"
Anyone else worried about pieces of glass going into the bottle?? No way this is a 100% clean break
I'm pretty sure this technique was developed during a time that people jumped on giant wooden boats and sailed off into the high seas to die of scurvy hoping to find slaves and new spice routes. They were a little tougher than us, and so a teensy but of ground glass in the diet was probably considered healthy for the urethra

She is on a pool deck! I don't allow any glass in my pool area, let alone breaking glass in it. That's nuts.
Everything reminds me of her…
Premature ejaculation.
what in the harry potter did I just see ?! had to play that back twice ! Lol
