Toast etiquette

Let's talk about the three most common links in toast etiquette: pouring wine, toasting and serving wine.

1, what's the etiquette for pouring wine? Are you the owner or the younger generation? After the general guests are seated, they begin to pour wine. When drinking in a hotel, the waiter may pour the wine, but if he is an important leader or friend, he can pour the wine himself to show his attention or goodwill.

Pay attention to the following etiquette when pouring wine: As a wine pourer, you need to pay attention to: ① Hold the wine bottle in your right hand, hold or pick up someone else's glass in your left hand, and pour the wine slowly.

(2) Don't touch the glass mouth. Liquor/beer is 8-9 minutes full, wine 1-3 minutes full, and tea is 7 minutes full.

(3) After pouring a glass of wine, take a little of the bottle to prevent the wine from dripping on the table. As a degenerate, you need to pay attention to:

You need to move the glass before someone pours it for you, or you can hold it to show your respect.

After someone pours you wine, you can put your middle finger and forefinger together and knock on the glass twice to express your gratitude.

(3) If leaders and other high-ranking people pour wine, they can say something flattering to show respect.

2, toast order If the toast order is wrong, it is easy to make others feel uncomfortable, especially in the face of leaders and elders, we must pay attention. There are three things to pay attention to in the toast order, and you can't make a mistake:

(1) For familiar people, you can propose a toast first, then guests, then children, then leaders, then subordinates, then ladies, and finally men.

(2) For unfamiliar people, you can start from yourself, take turns toasting, and don't miss anyone.

For many dinners with higher status than ourselves, we try to wait for mutual respect between leaders or elders before toasting. For close friends, you don't have to care so much. You can toast clockwise or in circles.

Toast is to show respect, sincerity, etc. In order to get closer to each other. The details of the cup will also show your attitude. There are still three points to note.

① When holding a cup, hold the cup body with your right hand and gently hold the bottom of the cup with your left hand. For red wine, gently hold the thin waist of the goblet with your thumb, forefinger and middle finger.

(2) When clinking glasses, let your glass be slightly lower than the other side to show respect. Of course not. If two people are like this, it will be endless, hahahahahahaha. But at least have this attitude.

When raising a glass, you can lean forward slightly and smile. Can train intimate relationships.

This is three aspects of toast etiquette: pouring wine, toasting and serving wine. The real details determine the success or failure of the dinner on the wine table, and a small detail can cause others to judge you infinitely. In addition, pay attention to the toast can not miss individuals, which is a big taboo on the wine table.
