About this Event
⚔️ What is Sabrage?
Legend has it that Napoleon’s cavalry officers celebrated victories by slicing open Champagne bottles on horseback with their sabres. Today, sabrage remains one of the most exhilarating and theatrical rituals in the world of wine — and now, The Wine Guild of the United Kingdom brings it directly to you.
You’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a camera roll full of Instagram-worthy photos.
