Want to learn the ultimate party trick - how saber a bottle of champagne? A Wine Affair Podcast is excited to welcome Master Sabreur, Harry Constantinescu, to discuss the “The Art of Sabrage,” one of Andi’s favorite traditions experienced while Andi & Harry were a part of the opening team at the St. Regis Atlanta hotel.
Hear how Harry broke world records during the 100-year Titanic anniversary soirée to recognize & remember the St. Regis’ founder, Mr. John Jacob Astor IV, who was the richest passenger aboard the Titanic, and even learn how your golf game and sabrage skill can both improve with the same technique and understanding.
Harry answers our questions on the definition of “sabrage” and how to successfully perform the technique for opening a champagne bottle with a saber, used for ceremonial occasions dating back to Napoleon and the French Revolution.
