The tradition of beheading a champagne bottle with a saber originated during the Napoleonic era. The "Sabrage" with the Briquet saber was 1812 created by the commander himself after winning the battle. Not only in France has this unique custom survived to this day. It provides a special highlight for every festive occasion. When used correctly, it usually works without any issues. After the wire basket has been removed from the cork, one strikes the blade of the saber with a gentle motion along the neck of the bottle onto the bulge below the bottle head. This one jumps forward with a bang and the champagne flows out. Possible glass splinters may fly forward due to the pressure. The detached bottle top with cork is labeled with the date and then serves as a memento of the celebration or as a talisman
