Sabrage, Perfected.
The Patented Glass That Unlocks the Celebration. Experience the thrill of opening champagne with the elegance of a single, revolutionary tool.
Provisional Patent Application No. 63/856,675
A Category-Defining Innovation
The Reinforced Sabrage Glass is not an improvement—it's a new product category. It merges the elegance of fine drinkware with the engineered function of a professional tool, making the dramatic ritual of sabrage both safe and accessible.
The Old Way: Risk & Inconvenience
Traditional sabrage requires a separate, intimidating saber. Attempting it with a standard glass is notoriously dangerous, with a high risk of shattering and injury. This limits a celebrated ritual to a select few.
The New Way: Safety & Elegance
Our patented glass integrates the tool into the vessel. Open the bottle and serve with the same object—a seamless, impressive, and, most importantly, safe experience for everyone.
The Patented Technology
Structural Reinforcement
A high-performance core extends from the base through the stem, engineered to safely receive and transmit impact force for a clean break. (Claim 1)
Engineered Center of Mass
The center of mass is strategically lowered, enhancing user control, stability, and precision for an intuitive and repeatable slide. (Claim 4)
The Sabrage System
The patent protects not just the glass, but the *instructed use* of the glass for sabrage, creating a powerful competitive moat. (Claim 8)
A Market Primed for Disruption
The Reinforced Sabrage Glass launch aligns perfectly with powerful, sustained market trends, creating an exceptional commercial opportunity in a growing global market.
Converging Growth Drivers
Premiumization
Consumers are actively investing in high-quality, aesthetically pleasing barware that enhances their overall drinking experience.
The Experience Economy
The product is a "micro-experience," transforming a simple act into a moment of theater, celebration, and shared memory.
Home Entertaining
With a surging interest in home mixology, consumers seek tools that elevate their hosting capabilities and impress guests.
An Unmatched Competitive Edge
The Sabrage Glass doesn't just compete; it creates a new "blue ocean," capturing the best attributes of existing options while eliminating their primary drawbacks.

A Strategy Built on Prestige
Our go-to-market strategy focuses on a B2B-first approach, anchoring the brand in high-value channels to create a "halo effect" that drives aspirational consumer demand.
The Hospitality Sector (HoReCa)
This is the most critical entry point. Luxury hotel groups (Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton) and high-end restaurants compete by offering unique, signature guest experiences. For them, the Sabrage Glass is a **service enabler**—a tool to design and sell new, premium, and profitable experiences like a "Tableside Sabrage Ceremony."
Prime Targets: Marriott Luxury, Hilton Luxury Brands, Mandarin Oriental, Rosewood.
A "Smart Licensing" Monetization Model
The definitive recommendation is to license the patent, not sell it. This strategy maximizes long-term revenue while minimizing risk. We propose a "Smart Licensing" model with a top-tier glassware manufacturer.
Upfront Fee
A non-refundable payment to cover all R&D and legal expenses, de-risking the venture for the inventor from day one.
Running Royalty (5-8%)
A percentage of the licensee's net sales revenue, providing a continuous, passive income stream.
Minimum Annual Royalties
A guaranteed minimum payment to prevent a licensee from shelving the technology and neutralizing a competitor.
Performance Milestones
Time-bound commercialization targets that ensure the licensee is motivated to diligently market the invention.
