刀削起泡酒是开起泡酒的一种方法，需拿（香槟）刀背沿瓶颈滑动，削开起泡酒。

这项开瓶技术始于拿破仑战争时期，拿破仑的军队那时正逐渐取代奥匈帝国的贵族。军刀是当时轻骑部队的首选武器。每次打了胜仗，军队都会举办宴会庆祝，轻骑部队开瓶迅速，技术精湛。当时的军刀在这时又派上了新的用场。据传，拿破仑在一次庆功宴上说过这样的话： “打了胜仗，香槟是你们应得的奖赏；打了败仗，你们则需要借香槟消愁。”

Sabrage /səˈbrɑːʒ/ is a technique for opening a champagne bottle with a saber, used for ceremonial occasions. The wielder slides the saber along the body of the bottle to break the top of the neck away, leaving the neck of the bottle open and ready to pour. The force of the blunt side of the blade hitting the lip breaks the glass to separate the collar from the neck of the bottle. One does not use the sharp side of the blade. The cork and collar remain together after separating from the neck.
