Win a solid brass champagne sabre!

We’re giving away a beautiful French Briquet Champagne sabre worth R1 000.

Made from solid brass, high carbon steel and leather, with a chrome-plated blade, it’ll have you expertly slicing through champers bottles just like Napolean’s fearsome cavalry.

Sabrage is a technique for opening a champagne bottle with a sabre, used for ceremonial occasions.

The saber is slid along the body of the bottle toward the neck.

The force of the blade hitting the lip breaks the glass to separate the collar from the neck of the bottle.

The cork and collar remain together after separating from the neck.
