Nah, they make special christening bottles now, with pre-scored glass
and a net to catch the broken shards.

Understood, but I"m pretty sure I still don't want to whack my
fiberglass boat with a bottle, scored or not! Maybe a boat made of
steel, but not fiberglass.

On small boats, you pour the bubbly over the bow.


People are kind of snotty about their wine in my neck of the woods
(Sonoma County); does the boat know the difference between good sparkling
wine and inexpensive sparkling wine? Does it have to be Champagne from
France?
The 'Vigor' character says...don't displease the sea gods by being cheap.
Get the best you can afford....after all, only some goes over the
bow...the rest you drink.

Oh yeah, you betcha. With that in mind, only the finest will do.
