MORGAN KING SABRAGE SWORD
There’s no more dramatic way to open a bottle of bubbly than sabrage. Impress your guests at your next celebration by breaking open Champagne with the elegant Sabrage Sword from Morgan King. Crafted in Germany, this stainless-steel stunner is longer than most Champagne sabers, with a blade just over 17 inches long and boasting a polished brass handle, but just as easy to wield. When not in use, store it in its stately wooden presentation box or mount it proudly on its black lacquer stand, with engraving available on both stand and blade. A decorative tassel completes the pomp. $229.

SIMON PEARCE WINE CHILLER
At your next meal, preserve your bottle’s ideal temperature longer with the white marble wine chiller from Simon Pearce. The 100 percent natural marble of this subtle piece helps maintain your bottle’s chill without resorting to clunky and messy ice buckets, and it fully protects tabletops or other surfaces from condensation buildup. The polished marble of this sturdy chiller is as elegant as it is functional, and its compact size stores easily when not in use or on display. $150.

HIGH CAMP PARKSIDE FLASK 750
It may not be chic to fill a water bottle with wine for on-the-go sips, but a wine flask is another story. The Parkside Flask 750 from High Camp fits a full 750ml bottle of wine and comes equipped with two tumblers crafted to mimic your favorite stemless glasses, perfect for picnic sharing. The vacuum-insulated flask maintains your wine’s preferred temperature for up to 24 hours, and electropolished interiors in both flask and tumblers preserve your bottle’s original flavor and complexity. The Park- side is currently available in four colors. $125.
