Impress everyone at your New Years Eve party by sabering open a bottle like some Napoleonic Hussar of yore! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Everyone! Today I'm teaching you the proper technique to saber open bottles of champagne, and I talk a bit about the history of the practice. I also play a game I call "Will it Saber?" in which I attempt to saber with various objects around my bar. It gets pretty creative, and I get through a lot of bottles. Several cases of them actually. I also get cut up. It's a good one and it's how I'm closing out 2019! And by the way, THANK YOU all so much for making 2019 the BEST YEAR EVER For How to Drink! This episode is dedicated to you.
If you decide to try this, please be extremely careful. The bottle top flies off with incredible force and will destroy, maim, injure, or kill anything in its path. I'm not joking. Additionally as you'll see here, it's really not so safe for the person doing the sabering either.
Slowly but surely, I'm starting a mailing list so that I'm not fully dependent on YT's algorithmized notifications system. If you'll sign up, I promise not to abuse your generosity, or sell your info to anyone. It's over on the blog right here:

@fabiank.2604 4 года назад

Hey, this is extemely late and probably uninteresting for almost everyone, but here goes: Objects that 'will saber' should have 2 key qualities. Rigidity and concentration of force. In other words, they should flex as little as possible and have an edge of some kind. These qualities can compensate for each other to some degree but you want both for best effect. The key is to have immediate and high energy transfer between your striking object (whatever it is) and the point of impact (neck of the bottle). Glass is very brittle but very durable. This means that to crack it you have to concentrate as much force as possible on as small as possible an area, in as little time as possible. That's why 'glassbreakers' are designed the way they are. Long story short: Rigid object, edge, 'sabered bottle'.

As the kind of quiet guy there, I got some good looks as my friend dropped his jaw "Did you just saber a cider bottle with a pocket knife!?" I feel like I became something of a hero that night.

After listening to the physics part of it i am helplessly watching him try with objects that physics dictates won't work. As you said, you are hammering that point in the glass. If you use anything that can absorb the energy instead of imparting it to the actual glass, you will not saber. Basically: 1) Hit the damn point (nothing rounded will) 2) Use something that doesn't bend/isn't flexible (That absorbs the force) 3)Use enough force (you're basically using a lever, if the arm of the lever is too small, you'll reaaaaally have to hit that thing) Happy sabering!

The seam on bottles have changed over the years. Now it works due to the double seams on modern mold bottle production, but back in the day (pre 1870's) the only seam on the bottle would be from where molten glass was attached to the bottle to form the lip. This created a fracture line that probably made sabering champagne even easier. 99% of these hand applied lip bottles that I've found break right there at that junction while modern bottle breaks are less predictable.

@rv186rs 4 года назад

Fun fact, 'Champagne bottles' are not originally designed for Champagne. When Champagne makers where having those issues with exploding bottles there was already a nearby tradition which had a long history of dealing with bottle fermented high carbonation beverages, the Lambic brewers in Belgium. That's where Champagne makers found their bottles able to withstand higher pressures, so Champagne is actually wine packaged in a type of beer bottle. Of course later in history Champagne became more well known and for a long while Lambic lingered in near complete obscurity so the bottle type came to be more associated with Champagne and became known as 'Champagne bottles'.

@jameswallace6227 4 года назад

I’ve been sabering for three years and I’ve never had any issues with wayward shards, so no worries. If anything, you may want to consider wearing a glove on your bottle holding hand, just in case the entire thing blows. Other than that, make sure your bottle is cold and submerge it, neck down, in ice for 10 minutes before it’s show time! That’s Alton Brown’s personal wisdom, anyway!🍾🥂😆
