Sabering Champagne

I saw this post over at Cooking Issues and it reminded me of this video of my first attempt at the art of sabering a bottle (and gave me an excuse to figure out how to post video).



It's way easier than you might think, and I've subsequently taught several people how to do it at some parties we've hosted, which makes for a fun party trick. I'll leave it to the guys over at Cooking Issues to teach you how to do it since they did an impressive job in their post, but will point out that although totally unnecessary, I think it's extra fun if you splurge and use this Laguiole Champagne Sabre. It's the one I learned with at Bearfoot Bistro in Whistler, so I bought one for my next party.
