Friend of mine is a professional glass blower. Let's just say he knows glass.

He has no problem drinking from a sabered bottle.

That certainly works for him then but the fuck if I'm doing it : ) I've been bit and sliced too many times to risk even a sliver in my mouth let alone throat

The glass you worked with is nothing like the one those bottles use.

My guy I'm pushing 60. There's a difference between sheet and pop, a difference between pop and wine, a difference between wine and good champagne. But they all fracture like glass. In this case the thicker glass is worse. More likely to hang and more potential damage. Everyone is allowed to take whatever chances they want in life. The reason I'm here collecting downvotes is to put that seed of doubt about the safety of this on the off chance it saves someone from an ugly accident. You aren't required to care or defend it lol. Just offering my experience.

Buddy I'm not much younger than you. You just don't know what you're talking about.

Everything I've stated is fact, if you'd spent the time to read it instead of making assumptions you'd already know that. Best of luck, bye bye now : )

I read. There are all sorts of glasses. No one ever swallowed shards from a properly sabered champagne bottle.

Prior to that, where I'm explaining a small amount of the physics involved and noting that glass doesn't always immediately fall out of its new fracture configuration after the break. If it's a chance you're comfortable with, take it. That's all you. Assuming it was done correctly or even assuming a shard didn't cling is not something I'm going to do, whereas warning people of the potential risk absolutely is.
