Wine gift boxes

Wine boxes with professional accessories for connoisseurs and lovers of good wine, to give as a gift or to collect. The crates, in painted or natural wood, are made of excellent wood, resistant and aesthetically pleasing, for one or more bottles, with a different variety of accessories that you can choose from in this section, according to your tastes and needs.

The accessories inserted in the boxes are variable and often contain a corkscrew and a stopper to protect the wine after opening, but according to the types of boxes and the number of bottles to contain, there are further items in addition, which complete the various needs related to the presentation and management of a bottle of wine, even a fine one.

However, wine bottle boxes are not only those that contain the typically classic accessories for tasting, such as stoppers, thermometers, drip rings, but also those with wine sabers for the Sabrage rite, the particular French technique of opening bottles, mainly of sparkling wine or champagne, used more and more on special occasions, events to remember or of great public and/or private value.

What is sabrage?

Champagne Sabrage, is a French technique that derives from the French word Saber / saber, which involves opening a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine, through a clear saber that blows off the neck with the cap, instead of classically opening it by uncorking it with the hands. This technique has noble French military origins, dating back to the period of the Napoleonic wars, when at the end of the battles won on the field, Napoleon's officers used to celebrate the victory directly on the field, uncorking the bottles of champagne with their sabers to toast.

Today, there are clubs and academies that hand down and protect the original technique, even teaching the exact method to anyone who wants to use it in their own premises or at home.

Some hints on the exact method require that the bottle of champagne or sparkling wine be cold enough to allow the operation to be successful, by sliding the blade of the saber several times on the part of the bottle that holds the cork, before giving the dry blow which will blow off the neck with the whole cork. The pressure of the champagne or sparkling wine will have its very important part in the success, for this reason the wine is excluded from this "privilege". A little teaching and good practice will make the performances of lovers of this technique perfect.
