With its fine gilded or silvered hilt and decorative sword-knot recalling the way cavalry officers held their weapon at the wrist, it is delivered with a booklet called l’Art de Sabre le Champagne (The Art of Sabring Champagne).

To add some ceremony and fun to a festive occasion, you too can “sabre” your champagne with the dashing style of Napoleon’s impetuous cavalry. A novel prestige gift that is certain to please, and one that will lend an extra note of elegance to all your important social occasions.
