Champagne Sabres

Napoleon once said "Champagne! In victory one deserves it; in defeat one needs it". During the many parties to celebrate his victories, his light cavalry (Hussars) would open the champagne bottles with their sabres. It proved such a spectacle that this practice was adopted for ceremonial use and continues to both delight and amaze onlookers to this day.
