it, in defeat one needs it.” Napoleon’s cavalry would celebrate
their wins using their weapon of choice to slice off the top of
the bottle. There’s no better way to enjoy a glass of bubbly than
drinking it from a freshly-sabered bottle! Saber is packaged

sabering, and other tricks of the trade, from an expert at an
