Meet the Masters Welcomes Nicolas Krafft, Sabrage & Champagne Master
Miro is honored to welcome Nicolas Krafft for an
evening of champagne tastings and the art of French sabrage. The sabre à
champagne, or sabrage as it’s known in English, is the most spectacular
way to open a bottle of champagne. This involves
using a sabre to slice off the neck of the champagne bottle in
spectacular fashion.

About Nicolas Krafft
Mr. Krafft holds an Advanced Certificate from Wine
& Spirit Education Trust (WSET). He has worked for Christofle since
2002, first as Managing Director for Asia-Pacific and later as President
and CEO for the North American subsidiaries.
Before Christofle, Mr. Krafft held the position of General Manager with
AELIA Group from 1996-2002 specializing in alcohol, tobacco and gourmet
foods. Mr. Krafft has worked in Europe, South East Asia, China and the
United States. His extensive knowledge on
Christofle, luxury markets and Champagne has been featured in many
luxury publications such as French Morning, Newline, The Posh Report,
Polo magazine, Imagine, and The Beacon Hills Times.
For almost two centuries, Christofle has been a leader in the art of
silver and a proponent of innovation and design. From the very
beginning, Charles Christofle realized that luxury was more than just a
product; it was a lifestyle to be developed and perfected.
To this day, Christofle believes that a life style is a personal
sensibility of the finer things in life –a highly cultivated taste in
culture and a superior palate in food, wine, and, of course, Champagne.
