Description
CRAIGHILL
Champagne deserves more than an ordinary opener. The Best Champagne Saber by Craighill.
The Best Champagne Saber by Craighill is a champagne saber in stainless steel with a tortoise acetate handle, designed by sommelier André Hueston Mack. Approx. 38.6 cm, 215 g, includes a press-formed cork plinth. Craighill For Life — lifetime guarantee.
The moment that deserves a ritual
Engagements, promotions, birthdays, housewarmings — champagne belongs to the moments you want to remember. The moment itself deserves more than a standard bottle opener. The Best Champagne Saber turns opening champagne into a ritual: one movement, one sound, and the bottle is open. André Hueston Mack — sommelier, artist, host — designed this object because he knows exactly what special moments at the table mean. Stainless steel blade, tortoise acetate handle, press-formed cork plinth as a resting place: the saber becomes part of the tablescape, even when no bottle is being opened.
The gift for people who know how to celebrate
Some objects you don’t buy for yourself — not because you don’t want them, but because they fall into exactly the category you need a gift for. The Best Champagne Saber is the gift for someone who opens champagne with style — or will from now on. For a wedding, a milestone birthday, a promotion, a housewarming. An object you keep.

Frequently asked questions
How do I use a champagne saber correctly?
Chill the bottle to around 4 to 6 degrees. Remove the foil and wire cage. Hold the bottle at a 30 to 45 degree angle, seam facing up. Run the blade smoothly along the seam from the body of the bottle toward the lip. The pressure inside does the rest. Practice two or three times — after that it is faster than a standard opener.
Who is André Hueston Mack?
André Hueston Mack is a sommelier, visual artist, and restaurateur known for his work at the intersection of wine, art, and hospitality. He designed the Best Champagne Saber for Craighill as an object that gives the opening moment the weight it deserves.
Which bottle types work with the saber?
Classic champagne and sparkling wine in bottles with a musèlet (wire cage). Not suitable for prosecco with a crown cap or small-format bottles. Standard 0.75 l champagne bottles work most reliably.
What is the cork plinth?
The cork plinth is the resting position for the saber — press-formed from cork so the blade sits securely. When not in use, the saber rests on the plinth and becomes part of the tablescape. No loose placement on the table, no separate case needed.
