What is sabrage?
Sabrage is a traditional champagne-opening method that originated among the hussars serving in the French army, who were renowned for their courage and distinctive style. This technique later on spread to important events and military celebrations as well, becoming a symbol of elegance and spectacle. During sabrage, the neck of a champagne bottle is struck off with a special sabrage sword or blade. This practice originally became popular among the French hussars in the 19th century due to its spectacular display coupled with its refined presentation.
Meeting point: Entrance of the Guardhouse Restaurant and Café, 5:30 p.m.
