Presented in an elegant oak box, this Pulltex Champagne saber transforms the opening of a bottle into a spectacular ritual inspired by a tradition dating back more than two centuries.
Create an elegant and unforgettable moment with this Pulltex Champagne saber presented in an oak box. Specially designed for sabrage, it provides a dramatic ceremonial way to mark an important occasion. The oak box protects the saber between uses while giving it a refined presentation that makes it equally suitable for display or gifting.
A tradition inherited from the Napoleonic era
The exact origins of sabrage are intertwined with several popular stories, but the practice is generally associated with Napoleon’s Hussars in the early 19th century. According to legend, these cavalrymen celebrated their victories by opening bottles of Champagne directly with their sabers. Another version tells of officers entertained by Madame Clicquot who, while departing on horseback with bottles of Champagne, sabered them with a swift gesture in her honour. Whatever its precise origin, the ritual became an enduring symbol of victory, boldness and celebration.
To perform sabrage, the bottle must be thoroughly chilled. After removing the foil and wire cage, locate the vertical glass seam and move the saber confidently along it toward the collar at the top of the neck. The pressure inside the bottle then expels the cork together with the glass collar.
Sabering must always be performed in a large, unobstructed area with the bottle pointed away from people, animals and breakable objects. The cork and glass collar can travel a considerable distance, and the broken bottle rim remains extremely sharp. Never drink directly from a sabered bottle, and carefully inspect the opening before serving.

Pulltex was founded in Barcelona in 1985 under the name TEX. The company originally developed measuring instruments, including thermometers and hygrometers.
Its expertise later expanded into the wine industry with the development of wine thermometers, followed by a broader range of accessories for opening, serving and preserving wine.
In the early 1990s, Pulltex introduced the Pulltap’s, an articulated double-lever corkscrew that quickly became one of the brand’s signature products. Its mechanism allows the cork to be removed progressively, making bottle opening easier and more efficient.
