Drinking etiquette

Modern drinking culture etiquette 1. Pour wine usually, wine should be poured into a glass before drinking.

Sometimes, in order to show respect and friendliness to the guests, the host will personally pour wine for them. When the waiter pours the wine, don't forget to thank you, but you don't have to pick up the glass.

When the host comes to pour the wine in person, he must raise his glass to thank him, and if necessary, he needs to stand up or bow his head as a greeting. Sometimes, you can give them a "finger tapping ceremony" in return.

That is, the thumb, index finger and middle finger of the right hand are pinched together, and the fingertips tap the desktop a few times. This method is suitable for Chinese banquets. It means thanking each other.

The wine poured by the host for the guests should be the best wine at this banquet and should be unsealed on the spot. Pay attention to three points when pouring wine: 1, comprehensive, equal, selective and oil-free, and only pour wine for individuals.

2. Pay attention to the order. You can start clockwise from where you are sitting, or you can pour wine for your elders and guests first.

3. Pour wine in moderation. Liquor and beer can be drunk, but other foreign wines are not so particular. If they are loaded too much, it is obviously inappropriate and a waste.

Except the host and waiter, other guests are not allowed to pour wine for others by themselves. Second, a toast, also called a toast.

It specifically refers to the fact that at a formal banquet, the host proposes drinking to the guests for some reason. When toasting, we usually say some words of blessing.

At the formal banquet, the host and guest will also make a special toast solemnly. Therefore, toasting is often an indispensable procedure for banquets.

You can toast at any time when you drink. Often toasting will make the atmosphere warm and cheerful.

However, if a formal toast is made, the first consideration is not to affect the guests' dining at a specific time. Third, cheers, cheers, usually refers to persuading others to drink in some way when drinking, especially when toasting or toasting, or suggesting that the other party drinks with himself at the same time.

When drinking a toast, you often drink the wine in the toast, so it is called a toast. Sometimes, toasts have to clink glasses with each other, so they are also called clinking glasses.

After the host or others toast, you should stand up with a glass in your hand. Even if you don't touch alcohol, you should pick up your glass and pretend.

When you propose a toast, you should raise your glass to eye level. After saying "cheers", you should drink it all at once, or drink half of it, or just the right amount. Then, you need to raise your glass and look at the toaster, and the process is over.

No matter what kind of occasion you drink, you should be self-aware, be cautious, try to keep your manners, and you are a gentleman until you get drunk. First, drink * * * wine at any time, and don't be competitive.

Pretend to be chic, and you will be "drunk" when drinking. Drinking too much is not only easy to hurt your health, but also easy to make a fool of yourself.

Make trouble. There is an old saying in our country that "wine hurts people" and "wine is a matchmaker", so don't forget to warn yourself when drinking.

This is necessary not only when you are happy, but also when you are in a bad mood. Never drown your sorrows in wine. As for intentional drinking, self-harm is even more inappropriate.

Before drinking, you should know your drinking capacity according to your past experience. No matter what happens, you must play to your level.

At a formal banquet, you should especially take the initiative to limit your drinking capacity to less than half of your daily drinking capacity, so as not to get drunk and spoil the broth. Second, refuse to drink according to the ceremony. If you can't drink because of living habits or physical reasons, you can refuse the advice of others in one of the following ways.

1, stating the objective reasons for not drinking. 2. Take the initiative to replace wine with other soft drinks.

3. Entrust relatives and friends, subordinates or younger generations to drink on their behalf. When others pour their own wine, don't hide, push the bottle around, knock on the glass mouth, turn the glass upside down and secretly pour it out.

It is also wrong to pour your own wine into other people's cups, especially if you drink a little wine. Third, when changing customs and drinking, don't forget the rules of self-discipline and respect for others.

In particular, we should abandon the following bad habits that are harmful to people and ourselves. 1, don't get drunk.

Very few people, when drinking, often "make people drunk", take the opportunity to make trouble, pretend to be crazy and talk nonsense. This practice is really boring.

Don't drink too much. Some people are addicted to alcohol.

This is not only harmful to health, but also harmful to personal image. 3. Don't drink.

Toast, toast, need mutual consent, don't force to persuade wine, say "deep feelings, a stuffy. Shallow feelings, a little. "

You have to get people down and watch them laugh. 4. Don't punch.

When drinking, some people like to guess, make a scene and grandstanding. Its practice is also disrespectful and should not be used in public places.

China is a country of etiquette. Etiquette was the life rule of the upper class in ancient times, including clothing, food, shelter, transportation and manners. And wine, with its unique culture and etiquette, originated for thousands of years and has been passed down to this day.

Let's talk briefly about the wine ceremony today. Put wine in the wind, fight swords in rivers and lakes, drink mountains and rivers, and then drink the sun and the moon! This is the way we long for high spirits, but in reality, the way we often open it is like this: when pouring wine, it is drizzling.

When persuading wine, sweet talk. When drinking, say something bold.

Drink too much and talk nonsense. Finally, it rained cats and dogs.

. The Analects of Confucius said, "If you don't learn manners, you can't stand." Drinking also needs to pay attention to manners.

How to behave gracefully on the wine table? Today, I will discuss with you the cultural etiquette of drinking. Ancient drinking culture etiquette Ancient guests toasted each other alternately, which is called a reward, and then poured wine in turn to respect others, which is called a wine tour.

People who are respected and respected should avoid the table and stand up. There are often singing and dancing performances at dinner. These ancient ceremonies have a long history and are still enduring.

As far as ceremonies are concerned, drinking in ancient times is divided into four parts: sacrifice, sacrifice, vomiting wine and death. 1, do a "bye" operation first to show respect.

Then pour a little wine on the ground as a sacrifice to thank the earth for its richness. 3. Then taste the wine, it will be beautiful and make the host very happy.

Finally, the cup is lifted. "pawn", that is, "cheers", is a gift from the ancients.

Because the old wine is weak, it is not difficult to propose a toast. To propose a toast, the present should do it first, and the ancients should do it later.

The Book of Rites Quli says, "Serve the elders" and "If the elders don't lift it, the widowed dare not drink it".

Second, drinking etiquette

If you are a new employee, talk less and drink less.

If you are an old employee, talk less and drink more.

If you are a small leader, toast more and drink less.

If you are a middle-level leader, toast more and drink more.

If you are a big leader, drink more and toast less.

● Matters needing attention when drinking, drinking and drinking.

When drinking from a cup, you should first swallow the chew in your mouth, then put the knife and fork in a figure of eight or cross into the plate, and then wipe your lips with a napkin. Then drink, water, etc.

When drinking, drink water and so on. China people are used to drinking glasses. In the west, this is exactly what should be avoided. The most civilized way in the west is to keep your head straight and take a sip. At the end of the drink, there will always be a little wine left in the cup.

When drinking drinks, soup, wine, water, etc. Don't suck out the sound with your lips, but drink it gently bit by bit.

When toasting, it is always initiated by the host or the person with the highest status and status.

Hold the cup with one hand, and don't tilt your little finger or other fingers when holding the cup.

"A glass of water and wine tells the truth", and it is not unreasonable to use wine as a medium to contact feelings and enhance friendship. Judging from the effect of wine on people's health, drinking less is beneficial and drinking more is harmful. Drinking less can dredge blood vessels, stimulate appetite and relieve fatigue, while drinking too much or too much will do harm to the human body to varying degrees. Alcohol is a toxic substance to human cell protoplasm, and its content will be harmful to people if it exceeds the prescribed level. Generally speaking, when a person's blood contains 2 to 3 milligrams of alcohol per milliliter, he will feel slightly dizzy. When it reaches 4 to 5 milligrams, it will lead to insanity. More than 5 mg will lead to poisoning and even death. It can be seen that excessive drinking is dangerous. Excessive drinking for a long time will lead to chronic alcoholism, cause central nervous system disorder, weaken intelligence, memory and attention, and may also promote arteriosclerosis, cause cardiovascular diseases and diseases of kidney, liver and digestive system. Alcohol is particularly harmful to the liver, because the task of alcohol oxidation and detoxification mainly depends on the liver, which consumes a lot of enzymes and glycogen. Excessive drinking will make the liver overworked and even destructive, leading to degeneration or necrosis of liver cells, resulting in fatty liver or cirrhosis. People with liver disease must not drink alcohol. From this point of view, wine is a kind of thing with advantages and disadvantages, and the key lies in self-control. According to this and living habits, the following etiquette routines are formulated for drinking.

L. When you need to raise a glass, don't drink too much, keep a clear head, and don't get carried away without seeing the wine. It is impolite to drink good wine.

Don't drink before going to work, so as not to make people angry. Moderate drinking after work, under any circumstances, excessive drinking is wrong. Being tired and drunk at work is not only against work discipline, but also out of order. If the tourist receptionist still goes to work drunk, it will seriously damage the quality of service and is absolutely not allowed.

3. It is unacceptable for participants not to gamble or drink too much, get drunk and stop fighting, which will turn civilized and polite communication into rude behavior. Be polite in persuading wine. When the host or sitting guest sees that someone's glass is empty, he will politely ask, "Please have another drink". If you put your hand over the mouth of the cup, it means that you don't want to drink, so you don't have to force it. "Lay down one's life to accompany a gentleman" is a lack of self-evaluation of drinkers, and it is by no means a polite behavior. It is rude and immoral for a drinker to get angry after failing to persuade him to drink. It is inhuman and puzzling to ignore a person who failed to persuade them to drink. Toast or * * * toast at the dinner party is generally appropriate once, and don't repeat the toast. Forcing others not only fails to pay tribute, but also makes them feel embarrassed and unhappy. Clink glasses and drink according to everyone's wishes. It is unreasonable to judge sincerity by how much you drink.

4. Don't guess the fist order, be noisy and rude. Clapping is not allowed in public places, and boxing is generally not suitable for family private reception. If you need something special, be careful not to disturb your neighbors or go against your host's wishes, just to entertain you. But don't use it as a means to force drinking. It is very impolite to vomit when you are drunk. Both sides played vulgar roles, not only hurting their own bodies, but also making a fool of themselves in public and framing others. Even if you drink too much, if you have no virtue, talent and rudeness, you are just a bucket of rice.

5. Avoid getting drunk and out of control. Alcohol can anesthetize people's nerves, make people think disorder, make some people excited, and lose control of their words and behaviors. If you go crazy with alcohol, talk nonsense, say something that is difficult to export at ordinary times, and do something ugly, people will often regret it.

3. Four steps of drinking etiquette: what do you mean by worship, sacrifice, vomiting and death?

When the host and guests drink together, they should bow to each other. When the younger generation drinks in front of their elders, they usually bow first and then sit in the second seat. The elder ordered the younger generation to drink, and the younger generation could raise a glass. The elder hasn't finished the wine in the cup, so the younger generation can't finish it first. There are about four steps in ancient drinking etiquette: worship, sacrifice, vomiting and death. That is to make a gesture of worship first to show respect-worship; Then pour a little wine on the ground and offer the virtue of thanking the ground sacrifice; Then the wine tasting is praised to make the owner happy-spit; Finally, the host will propose a toast to the guests at the banquet, and the guests will return the toast to the host. When toasting, they will also say a few toasts. Guests can also toast each other (called travel rewards). Sometimes, they will toast people in turn (called wine). When toasting, both the toaster and the toaster should "avoid"

Fourth, what is the etiquette of drinking?

At the dinner table, drinking can also reflect a person's style, taste and civilization.

For example, when some people drink, they will raise the glass and drink it off, and even let the drink flow down the corners of their mouths. This is not only impolite, but also extremely embarrassing and vulgar. Therefore, when we attend a banquet, we must drink alcohol politely and moderately.

Drink alcohol in moderation. It is necessary to know your drinking capacity, otherwise you may do something rude unconsciously.

And each of us has a different amount of alcohol, even if the same person has a different amount of alcohol on the same day, because of time, good mood or full support. Food is the best wine, so before going to eat, you'd better eat some snacks to avoid drinking on an empty stomach and getting drunk easily.

After knowing your true capacity for drinking, you'd better get a 20% discount on drinking. Don't be too confident, and keep drinking until you are full. At that time, you may want to stop. You should also know what kind of wine is easier to get drunk.

Drinking should be easy-going and tolerant. Easy-going is the first etiquette of drinking. If the host has different kinds of wine, you can choose your favorite wine to drink.

Some people don't drink any kind of wine, but as a guest, asking the host for a certain kind of wine may consider themselves experts. Actually, it is impolite. Because the person who buys you a drink is not the hotel owner, it will be embarrassing if he doesn't have the drink you want, especially when you have a light meal at someone else's house.

If it is in a big hotel or other public places with bars, two or three people can have a drink casually, and each person can choose his favorite wine to drink; If it is a banquet, only close friends can specify your favorite wine. Control the speed of drinking.

Try not to drink faster than your host. In order to show their so-called heroism, some people often like to hold their necks and pour a glass of wine in one breath. In fact, drinking like this is an ugly gesture.

It is not suitable for toasting when drinking cocktails. It is safer to drink slowly than quickly, especially those with ice. The slower you drink, the weaker the wine will be. Slow drinking is also a clever way to prevent drunkenness. Women, in particular, should drink slowly when drinking to avoid being regarded as alcoholics.

Wine can be the best, but it is always indecent.

5. What etiquette should I pay attention to when drinking?

Praise the Lord's name before meals, and praise the Lord for not being picky about food after meals. Fasting guests can be praised for not fasting and eating nearby. People who don't know the etiquette of eating are forbidden to feed dates and other things into their mouths continuously unless their companions eat from the edge of the plate. They can't eat in the middle They can't eat with three fingers. It is better to sit down and drink water than to stand and watch. It will be stressful to be proposed and toasted without preparation.

The best solution at this time is to say how you feel. Toast never takes long.

If you are asked to make a toast unprepared, you can say something simple to get out of trouble, such as "I say hello to Ken, and God bless you." Or "Say hello to our good friend and boss Greta"

But if you want to be more elegant and eloquent, you will want to add some memories, praises and related stories or jokes. However, a toast should be appropriate to the occasion.

A sense of humor rarely seems out of place, but the toast at the wedding should focus on emotion, the toast to retired employees should focus on nostalgia, and so on. At dinner parties, toasting is usually the priority of the host or hostess.

If there is no toast, the guest can toast the host. If one of the hosts makes a toast first, the guest can make a toast in the second place.

There is usually a hostess when a ceremony is held. If there is no hostess, the chairman of the organizing Committee will make the necessary toast after the meal and before the speech. On less formal occasions, you can propose a toast after wine and champagne are served.

The toaster doesn't have to drink the wine in the cup. One sip at a time is enough.

You can't touch any alcoholic drinks, including wine, even when toasting. When handing wine, of course you can refuse, and raise the goblet with soda water when toasting.

In the past, there was no toast unless it was an alcoholic drink, but today all kinds of drinks can be used to toast. In any case, you should stand up and join this activity, at least you should not sit in your seat with great disrespect.

"Catering Etiquette" is the general term of catering etiquette, catering etiquette system, catering etiquette, catering etiquette and other concepts. Among them, food etiquette is the social norm and moral norm that people should follow in their food activities; Food etiquette system is a food system and an important book affirmed by the national etiquette law; Dietary etiquette is a variety of ceremonies held ceremoniously at the banquet to show some respect; Dietary customs and habits are related to etiquette, etiquette system and etiquette, and have been circulating among the people for a long time. Catering courtesy is a daily code of conduct to show respect and friendship in catering activities.

Dietary etiquette is a comprehensive evaluation of the degree of dietary etiquette and dietary etiquette. In a word, food ceremony, as an important part of "ceremony", is a vivid embodiment of social norms and laws and regulations in drinking and feasting, civilized education and communication norms in catering activities, as well as the appearance, manners, demeanor and temperament of people and hosts attending the banquet.

Dietary rituals cover a wide range and can be classified in many ways. If divided by time, there are primitive social food rituals, slave social food rituals, feudal social food rituals, capitalist social food rituals and socialist social food rituals; According to ethnic groups, there are Han people's food rituals and ethnic minority food rituals; According to the class, there are royal palace dishes, government officials dishes, military camp soldiers dishes, academy literati dishes, market merchants dishes, bank craftsmen dishes, urban residents dishes and rural farmers dishes. Geographically, there are food etiquette in Northeast China, North China, Northwest China, East China, South China and Southwest China. According to their uses, there are various kinds of food gifts, such as offering sacrifices to ancestors, respecting teachers, respecting sages and supporting the elderly, birthday banquets, wedding and funeral banquets, New Year's greetings, farewell banquets, poetry and song parties, social dance parties, catering by various gangs, folk entertainment catering and so on, with rich forms and contents.

From emperors and princes to ordinary people, they all have extensive contacts with it and rely on it for social communication. China has been a "state of etiquette" and a "state of food etiquette" since ancient times.

Understanding ceremony, practice ceremony, observation ceremony and attention ceremony have a long history. "The Book of Rites" said: "The beginning of a husband's ceremony begins with diet.

"The earliest food ceremony is directly related to the ancient ritual of offering sacrifices to the gods. In this regard, there is a general description in the Book of Rites, to the effect that the ancestors of primitive society baked millet and pork pieces on burning stones to worship food, dug holes in the ground as wine bottles to worship drinks with their hands, and beat the earthen drums with long mallets tied with thatch to show their respect and sacrifice to ghosts and gods.

Later, the food ceremony expanded from the communication between people and ghosts to the communication between people, in order to adjust the increasingly complex social relations, and gradually formed the "five pre-Qin ceremonies" such as auspicious ceremony, fierce ceremony, military ceremony, guest ceremony and good ceremony, which laid the cornerstone of the ancient food ceremony system. After the birth of the food ceremony, in order to make it better play the role of "governing the country, governing the country, making the people and benefiting future generations", Duke Zhou first revised his theological concept, put forward the ideas of "respecting morality" and "respecting Taoism", and made some specific regulations on the banquets of the royal family and princes through the system of rites and music.

Then, the three masters of the Confucian school-Confucius, Mencius and Xunzi-continued to standardize food etiquette, supplemented the connotations of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and law, expanded the ethical relationship between adults, and "separated by etiquette" to eliminate disasters and solve problems. Their students also elaborated and enriched the predecessors' theories, and finally formed three classic works, Zhou Li, Yi Li and Li Ji, which became the core and soul of the feudal patriarchal clan system for thousands of years.

Because of the emphasis on "people are rude, things can't be rude, countries are rude, and there is no peace", etiquette such as food ceremony has become the social norm and moral norm of the aristocratic hierarchy in slave society and feudal society, and has become an ideological tool to maintain the system of oppression and exploitation. However, there are some positive and healthy contents in ancient food etiquette, that is, the code of conduct between people and the etiquette of banquets and restaurants.

In the long-term spreading process, it has been accepted by the broad masses of working people and evolved into various reasonable food etiquette and customs, which has become one of the outstanding cultural traditions of the Chinese nation. "Catering Etiquette" is the general term of catering etiquette, catering etiquette system, catering etiquette, catering etiquette and other concepts.

Among them, food ceremony.

6. Excuse me, the more detailed the drinking etiquette, the better.

As a tradition of Han nationality, ancient banquet etiquette has its own set of procedures: the host is invited to meet the guests temporarily outside the door.

When the guests arrive, they greet each other, introduce them to the living room and provide refreshments. After the guests are seated, guide them to their seats, with the left side facing up, which is regarded as the chief. There are two seats relative to the first seat, three seats under the first seat and four seats under the second seat.

When the guests are seated, the host toasts and dishes, and the guests thank each other with gifts. There is also a certain emphasis on serving wine at the dinner: respect the elders and guests first, and then the host.

After the banquet, guide the guests to sit in the living room and serve tea until they say goodbye. This traditional banquet etiquette is still intact in most parts of China, such as Shandong, Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province, and it is reflected in many film and television works.

Modern Chinese banquet etiquette is developed on the basis of continuing the tradition and drawing lessons from foreign etiquette. Its seating is based on the principle of the highest right in western banquets. The first guest sits on the host's right, and the second guest sits on the host's left or the first guest's right. The wine is served on the guest's right, first the guest of honor, then the host, first the female guest, then the male guest.

Pour eight cents of wine, not too full. The order of serving is still traditional, cold first and then hot.

Hot dishes should be placed on the left side of the seat opposite the guest of honor; Serve single dishes or side dishes, pre-dinner snacks, whole chicken, whole duck and whole fish and other plastic dishes, without head and tail facing the theme. These procedures can not only make the whole banquet process harmonious and orderly, but also reflect and communicate the identity and feelings of the host and guests.

Therefore, the etiquette above the table can make the banquet activities complete and comprehensive, and make the cultivation of both the host and the guest fully displayed. Therefore, it is particularly important to master some Chinese catering rules. Whether you are the host or just a guest, you should master some rules.

Guests should wait for the host's invitation before taking their seats. The host must be careful not to let the guests sit near the serving table.

This is a big no-no. You must wait until everyone arrives before you can start any kind of dining activities-even if someone is late.

Once everyone is in place, the host family can make the opening remarks. In the process of eating, the host must play an active role-it is completely reasonable to urge the guests to eat and drink to their fullest.

When it comes to drinking, almost everyone has experienced it personally, and "wine culture" is also an ancient and fresh topic. Modern people find the function of wine more and more in the process of communication.

Indeed, wine, as a media, plays a unique role in welcoming guests, meeting friends, communicating and passing on friendship. Therefore, exploring the "mystery" on the wine table will help you seek the success of communication. 1, everyone is happy together, don't whisper. Most banquets have a large number of guests, so try to talk about topics that most people can participate in and get the approval of most people.

Because of different personal hobbies and knowledge, the topic should not be too biased as far as possible, so as not to be dominated by one family, far apart, and talk endlessly, leading to digression and ignoring everyone. In particular, try not to whisper to others and give others a sense of mystery, which will often cause jealousy of "just you two" and affect the effect of drinking.

2, aim at the guest and the host, grasp the overall situation Most banquets have a theme, which is the purpose of drinking. When you go to eat, you should first look at the expressions around you and prioritize. Don't drink for the sake of drinking, and you lose a good chance to make friends, let alone let some grandstanding drinkers disturb the host's meaning.

3, the language is decent, and humor sprinkled on the dining table can show a person's talent, common sense, cultivation and communication etiquette. Sometimes a humorous language will leave a deep impression on the guests and make people feel good about you invisibly. Therefore, it is very important to know when to say something, to use appropriate language, and to be humorous.

4, moderately persuade wine, do not forcibly persuade the phenomenon on the wine table, some people always like to regard the wine field as a battlefield, trying to persuade others to drink more, thinking that it is unrealistic to drink enough. "Talk about heroes with wine" is ok for people who drink a lot, but it is difficult for people who drink less. Sometimes, if you persuade too much, the feelings of your former friends will be completely destroyed.

5, toasting in an orderly manner, distinguishing between primary and secondary toasting is also a science. Generally speaking, a toast should be made in the order of age, position and the status of the guest and the host. Before toasting, we must fully consider the order of toasting and distinguish between primary and secondary.

In order to drink with people you don't know, you should first inquire about your identity or pay attention to what others call you so as not to be embarrassed or hurt your feelings. When toasting, you must grasp the order of toasting.

If you want to have a guest at the dinner table, you should be respectful to him, but you should pay attention to the fact that if someone with higher status or older people is present, you should not only be respectful to those who can help you, but also propose a toast to the respected elders first, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed. 6, observe words and observe colors, understand people's hearts If you want to get everyone's appreciation on the wine table, you must learn to observe words and observe colors.

Because when dealing with people, we must understand people's hearts, so that we can play a good role on the wine table. 7. You should see clearly the occasion and correctly evaluate your own strength. Don't be too impulsive, try to keep some alcohol and talk, don't let others look down on yourself, and don't show yourself too much. Choose the right time and gradually radiate your own edge. Only in this way can you sit firmly on Mount Tai, and don't give others the idea of "just this ability" so that everyone can't underestimate your strength.

Toast is also a toast, which means that at a formal banquet, the host proposes to the guests and puts forward certain reasons for drinking. When drinking, we usually say some wishes and blessings, and even the host and guests have to make a special toast.

The shorter the toast, the better. You can toast at any time when you drink.

If it is a formal toast, it should be at a specific time, which will not affect the guests' meal. Toast is suitable to start after guests and hosts are seated and before meals.

It can also be after the main course and before the dessert is served. When drinking, especially when toasting, someone needs to take the lead in toasting, which can be the host, the guest of honor or the people present.

When toasting, you should stand up, hold the cup in your right hand, or hold the bottom of the cup in your left hand, smile, look at other toasts, especially yourself, and say a blessing at the same time. It is suggested that after the toast, you should hold the glass in your hand.
