Bangkok (Thailand) – April 6, 2017 (travelindex) – The Rembrandt Hotel Bangkok, in the heart of Bangkok, recently hosted the “Confrérie du Sabre d’Or 2017” to celebrate the noble art of sabering in collaboration with the Thai branch of the Confrérie du Sabre d’Or. While the opening of champagne with a saber was once a ceremonial occasion, it is now often celebrated to promote a lifestyle of fine dining and wine, where chilled champagne bottles are artfully opened with a saber. The hotel hosted the event on March 31, which drew numerous guests who were captivated by the demonstrations. It is an elaborate ceremony over two centuries old, originally performed by a daring young French cavalry officer who used a saber to cut the cork of a champagne bottle instead of carefully removing it by hand. Following the performance, a nine-course menu was served, created by Vittorio Bertini, the internationally acclaimed chef of the Rembrandt Hotel. It harmonized perfectly with champagne and wines, making the evening an unforgettable experience for every gourmet.

Eric Hallin, General Manager of the Rembrandt Hotel, said: “We are delighted that the Rembrandt Hotel has embraced the art of opening champagne with the precision of a saber. We have been hosting this event for many years and will continue to do so in the future.”
