"Noble" art is a bit of a misnomer. Sabrage was made popular by Napoleon's army, whose light cavalry bore sabres.

Now, your typical solider is no gentleman, nor is he very noble either. I imagine they would raid some rich aristocrat's wine cellar in the middle of nowhere, execute the previous residents, and proceed to get blitzed to blazes from the ex-owner's stash. Rampaging soldiers tend to be an unruly lot, and were probably far too wasted of their asses to bother with opening the bottles in a conventional manner and voila, sabrage was invented!

It was probably the French Napoleonic version of a modern redneck's: "Hey guys! Hold my beer & watch THIS..."

oliver: thanks for the chuckle, dude. That was funny!???
