No Thanks, I Need All My Fingers

Check out this this article on "sabering" champagne from Tuesday's Democrat & Chronicle. This is a method of opening a champagne bottle using a "sword" or other large knife.

I wonder how many Rochesterians will be "toasting" the New Year at a local Emergency Room because they decided to give this idea a try? I also wonder if they will sue the D&C for putting the idea into their heads?

I'm going to go with the safe old "cover the bottle with a towel so that the cork doesn't put someone's eye out" method. That way I won't have any blood or broken glass in my Dom Perignon (okay, my J. Roget's).

Any way you open it, have a Happy New Year!
