Next time I find myself stuck on a horse after a military victory in Napoleonic France, I'll give it a shot. In the mean time, I have more fun shooting corks at people the old fashioned way.

I could see the convenience in this method if one had to open 25 bottles of champagne right in a row. Or, if one were on a horse....but I'm just thinking that doing it like this you have to worry about one more dangerous projectile (as romantic and chivalrous and fun as it looks).

Sorry, Jenny. Until my dog learns to hold the camera steady, the result are all I have for now. Static: Hope this link will satisfy. It's a bit too phallic for me.

Ah, hatebrian, you don't know me. Trust me, if I tried this my hitchhiking days would be over.

There's not much of a danger of the glass shattering unless the bottle isn't cold enough or you drop it after making the break. Here's a video: http://video.about.com/wine/Saber-a-Champagne-Bottle.htm

No thanks. Visions of shattered glass and blood mixed with bubbly dance in my head.
