A NOVEL METHOD FOR CORKING CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES

Guess what i saw the coolest thing yesterday, someone opening a champagne bottle with a sabre. No kidding. Apparently its some French thing, lots of the people there had heard of it (I hadn't) but had never seen it done. You scrape the blunt edge along the seam of the bottle towards the cork and then it pops the whole top (cork included) off. Unreal! These Frenchies certainly have style (although this week the whole bloody country is driving me insane). A bientot.
