  • @Alejandroenfuego Using the dull side of a knife or blade gives you a flatter contact area and transfers the energy better. Also if the champagne is chilled correctly then you're not going to spill a drop.

  • She used the blade end....

  • It's important that the gases and some champagne expel any glass remnants. Most of the master sommeliers seem to use the dull side of the saber instead of the sharp, they claim that it's actually more effective and safer. You're also supposed to find the main seam of the bottle and use that as a guide for where to strike. No instructions given here on how to safely do this. I guess they didn't want to give any so as to not encourage anyone. But some idiot somewhere will anyway.

  • I was here for an Aaron Sanchez demonstration...thought it looked familiar haha.

  • btw you need to spill some of it when it foems up to get any glass that might have gone in the drink when you do this

  • Great video Jennifer - caught you on Gary V's show

  • Excellent! Didn't spill nary a drop.
