Many Years of Celebrations

One of the most popular stories about the history of sabrage dates back to as early as the 1700s. One of the many mysterious legends states that the start of sabrage was originally attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte’s cavalry, who would celebrate military victories by taking their sword to the champagne bottle.
