Question: Is sabering champagne dangerous?
Answer: Sabering champagne, i.e. opening a bottle with a saber, is not considered dangerous in itself. When done correctly, sabering does not produce dangerous shards of glass. The pressure inside the bottle causes the glass to break cleanly, without creating sharp fragments. However, it is important to take certain precautions when sandblasting. Make sure the bottle is cold before sabering, and point it away from fragile objects and people. Although sabering isn't the most effective opening method, it can be exciting and add a touch of showmanship to a special celebration. It's best to seek professional help or practice with tutorials before attempting these techniques at home. Caution: the neck of the bottle breaks and flies away with the cork at a speed of around 200 km/h and can reach a distance of at least 15 meters. Children are not allowed to pop champagne.
