It is at this moment that the act of sabering one bottle champagne went horribly wrong.
Footage recorded in Missouri and shared on January 22 shows a man struggling to open the bottle with a knife in a trick called sabering.
After hitting the neck of his bottle several times with the blade, he lost his grip on the blade and the bottle crashed to the ground.
Video footage taken in Missouri, shared January 22, shows a man trying to open a glass with a knife using the trick known as “sabering”.
He is shown standing on a champagne glass and holding a knife. Then he moves to saber the champagne.
He tries to open the bottle again, but nothing happens.
Properly done, cork will shoot off the bottle’s top in dramatic fashion with a green circle of glass.
However, after the third time he tried the bottle out of his grasp, the glass fell to the floor and slipped from his fingers.
He laughs as the champagne bubbles on the ground and shatters onto the floor.
As he continues to laugh, the camera follows him back. He realizes that sabering is not something he can master.
This funny video was shot on January 1, and seems to depict New Year celebrations.
The third time he tried, the bottle broke and hit the ground. He is greeted with champagne as a gift, while he giggles.
Sabering, an older French tradition that saw cavalry officers use their swords for opening champagne bottles was a way to get around the seams and strike the edges.
You can be difficult to master, it is hard work and not all the time. This clip was shot at a Michelin-starred eatery.
The video captures Michael Minnillo, general manager of French Laundry, allegedly attempting a dramatic opening of a £1,500 bottle of Billecart-Salmon brut.
The champagne explodes and floods the restaurant’s chefs in San Francisco.
