The Art of Sabrage (without much art)

The Art of Sabrage (without much art) Video Clips. Duration : 1.67 Mins.

No non-sense follow-up to a power-point presentation I made detailing how to properly and safely take the top off a champagne, sparkling wine, or decent quality beer bottle (the one in the video is in-fact a Belgian beer). I might splice a video of the powerpoint into the movie at a later date, take this one down, and swap in the more complete tutorial. That'd require more editing than I have the software for right now though, and this gets the basic concept across well enough. Notes to makes it more complete: 1) If the bottle has been recently transported, such as by car) set it on your shelf for a day or so to rest. If you do this too soon after the bottle's been moved around alot it can end up exploding. 2) Always wear gloves and safety glasses (those are ANSI rated glasses I have on in the video) 3) Chill the bottle for at least one-hour prior to working with it. If it's not cold enough then the bottle can, you guessed it, explode. 4) I mentioned in my power point presentation that this really shouldn't be done indoors. Mother Nature and other campus activities conspired to keep me from being able to do this outside during the daylight like I wanted too.
