Remember to "drink less wine. "Know more." Today we will talk about the rules at the wine table. It is not so much a rule as a kind of etiquette and a kind of wine culture. In fact, there are countless cultural etiquettes about wine, and they are different in different places. customs and rules. So do you know how to pour wine and toast? Today I will share what I know about the etiquette of pouring wine and toasting. Don’t look at it as simply pouring wine and toasting. You will find that it is not simple. Invisibly, you will offend others, and you will get yourself into trouble if you are not careful. How to navigate the wine bar, talk and laugh happily in an awkward situation, let’s take a look at the table etiquette series.

Pouring wine is very particular. For example, when a house is full of guests, changing glasses, all of this naturally starts with pouring wine. We often say that wine is not enough and the heart is not sincere. But not all wine must be filled full. We often say that full wine refers to liquor and beer. For other drinks, they have their own standards. Usually, red wine needs to be filled to one-third of the glass, while white wine needs to be filled to one-half of the glass, and wine with bubbles such as champagne should be filled to three-quarters of the glass. Therefore, when pouring wine, you should also consider what kind of wine it is, otherwise it is likely to cause a joke.

Notice the empty cups on the table. During the banquet, we should always pay attention to the empty cups on the table. If the wine glass is empty, we should pour wine for the guests in time. The tea cup should be empty to seven points of the cup. If the banquet reaches the end and there is not much wine in the bottle, you must be careful when pouring the wine and distribute the wine evenly to everyone present. It is easier to estimate the transparent wine bottle. If the opaque bottle , you need to work hard to judge by shaking the bottle. This requires a certain amount of experience. If you have not reached this level, then don't pour the wine foolishly, put the wine in the middle of the table, and everyone can distribute it themselves. . Otherwise the situation will be awkward and end badly.

The etiquette of toasting. Everyone is familiar with toasting, but do you know how to toast? Toasts should also be given in order. Usually after the banquet begins, the leaders drink three glasses together or toast three times. So don’t make a toast as soon as it comes up. There is an idiom that says after three rounds of drinking, it is time to toast alone. However, don’t be impatient. If you are not the leader, you must wait until the leader and guests respect each other before you start toasting. Otherwise it will make it difficult for your leadership. Toasts are usually done in a clockwise direction. Do not skip or omit people. This is very easy to offend and is disrespectful to others.

What should you pay attention to when toasting. When toasting, hold the cup with your right hand and hold the bottom of the cup with your left hand. Be sure to hold it steady. Because you don’t want to experience the embarrassment of losing your glass when you clink glasses. Regardless of men or women, never raise your little finger when drinking. Many people think this is very elegant, but it is actually wrong and looks pretentious. Keep your posture upright, drink openly and openly, and don't make unnecessary little moves. When toasting, multiple people can toast to one person, but if you are not an elder or leader, you must not toast to multiple people. This will appear very arrogant and rude.

Clinking glasses is not something you do casually. Many people choose to clink glasses when toasting. However, these glasses are not clinked casually. Clinking glasses during a toast requires toasting, so if you are just toasting normally and don’t want to toast, just raise your glasses or touch them lightly on the table. If you touch the glasses too hard and knock the glasses off, both parties will be embarrassed. . When toasting to elders and leaders, when clinking glasses, your own glass must be lower than theirs to show respect. Of course, if you are a leader, don't put the cup too low. This will make it difficult for your subordinates to do it. It will be inappropriate if it is higher than yours. If it is lower, it will look like "nodding and bowing" to your subordinates, which looks very flattering. Therefore, raising your own cup appropriately is also a sign of respect for others.
