Instructions for use: These are for guidance only and you perform this at your own risk. Make sure the bottle is well chilled. Placing upside down in an ice bucket is the best way to do this. Do not shake the Champagne Remove foil and wire basket. Ensure bottle is dry Find vertical seam on side of bottle (one on each side). The point where this hits the top lip is the weakest point. Hold the bottle at an angle (around 30 degrees) with the cork upwards and facing away from you. Make sure that you are not pointing the bottle at anyone. Grip the bottle firmly near the base with your thumb in the base. Place the Sabre on the neck of the bottle and you are going to use the blunt edge to slide up and hit the top lip rather than the sharp edge (this is the reverse of what you would expect but is far more effective) A short sharp movement will remove the glass top and cork. Ensure you carry you continue past the top with the sword. Carefully check the top of the bottle for any glass shards and then pour the Champagne.
