  • St. Regis Atlanta Sommelier, Harry Constantinescu, accepted the extraordinary challenge to establish a Guinness Book World Record!
    In partnership with Veuve Clicquot, Harry's first attempt to break the Guinness Book World Record, on September 17, 2010, was a valiant effort! He sabered 19 bottles of champagne in 60 seconds - an achievement that is undeniably admirable!
    Harry's Challenge: Saber at least 22 bottles of champagne in less than 60 seconds.
    Harry's Competition: Andre Saint Jacques sabered 21 bottles of champagne in one minute in October 2006 - Whistler, Canada.
    Harry's Celebration: 19 bottles of Veuve Clicquot poured generously through the audience as Harry was congratulated on his first attempt. While he was three bottles shy of securing the World record, the challenge is not over! Follow the St. Regis Atlanta on Facebook for the next World Record Challenge! stregisatl

      its not as easy as you think, if you see clearly they put 1 bottle facing forward and other facing back and the trick is to hit it where there is a line in the bottle which is where both ends of the glass meet is where the weakest part of the glass is thats why some of them had to be hit harder than others and some failed.

      @angusrobinson7032 Před 10 lety +4

      the reason the labels weren't all facing the same way is to do with him wanting the seam in the glass to be facing him (a vital part of sabering champagne), the labels are stuck on the bottles at random in manufacturing.
