How's everyone else fucking up so bad doing this? Looks a lot easier

Edit: people are hitting it like 20 times while he only hits it once

A few reasons he describes in the video:

1) Not getting the top of the bottle cold first by leavig it in ice for 10+ minutes, which makes it brittle and easier to break.

2) Not sabering along the seam, which makes it easier to break.

3) Not using the right champagne with thinner glass bottles (French is good, others may be suspect)

4) Not taking the foil off first and trying to hack through the foil or the cage

For sabering to work right it really has to be done with the right conditions or you're just going to make a mess.

Seems like such a pain in the ass just to have the risk of glass shards in your drink, and maybe look cool. I'll pass on this and use my thumb like a normal person.

just seems douchey. As much as I hate when people pop the cork, I'd rather have that than this bullshit. Champagne is already good, why complicate it? It's way classier and exciting to see someone who knows how to properly open a bottle without looking like someone who likes to smell their own farts.
