How to Sabre a Champagne Bottle


That is frikin COOL!

[DeeDubya]

That is cool, but I wouldn't try it with a bottle of Dom Perignon. We used to do the same thing with long neck beers. Only hold two bottles neck to neck, placing the unopened caps about midway up the neck of the opposing bottle. Holding them tightly together, quickly pull them apart while they are in contact. One of the tops will pop off just like with the champagne sabre. The other (the winner) will remain intact and you can open it conventionally by twisting off the cap. The "winner" does not have to drink out of a broken bottle and therefore does not cut his lips to shreds and bleed to death in the process. Cheers.
