Nowadays, it is now customary to think of the use of this word as an expression with which we refer to the practice with which bottles of champagne are opened in a very scenographic way. It is precisely with the use of a saber that this technique takes place; with a sharp and decisive blow, it is slid along the body of the bottle towards the neck.
