What is the etiquette of wine?

1, I want to order wine, but I find there is no wine label on the table, there is no wine on the wine list, and there is no wine label-Beverage List. I should ask the waiter if there is a wine list. The wine list is usually not put on the dining table, and it is only taken out when customers ask. This is the practice of the catering industry-especially high-end western-style restaurants.

Step 2 ask the sommelier

Tell each other their acceptable price range, taste, food, etc. And let the sommelier recommend the right wine for you. After buying wine, you can ask the sommelier to introduce the wine in detail.

Second, before serving wine.

You can take a sip of water to moisten your throat and rinse your mouth while you are waiting, so that you can taste the wine better and prevent you from drinking it all at once because you are thirsty.

Third, pour the wine

After tearing off the aluminum foil on the top of the bottle cap, wipe the bottle mouth with a clean towel first, and be sure to wipe it carefully again. In order to prevent the bottle stopper from remaining on the bottle mouth, it must be wiped carefully. If there is no sommelier or waiter, this step should be completed by the host.

After opening a bottle of red wine, it is necessary to "breathe" the air for a period of time to oxidize it and reach the drinking stage. After "breathing" the wine, the waiter will pour about a sip of wine into the customer's glass. What you have to do at this time is "wine tasting", and the process of wine tasting should be:

<1> Pick up the glass and tilt it outward. First, see if the wine is like sawdust, which may affect the quality of the wine. Let's see the color of the wine. Mature wine (except low-alcohol light wine) has a brownish-yellow edge on the periphery, while the wine inside is darker in color. Immature wine (which can be stored for a long time and drunk) is mostly purple inside and outside;

< 2 > Pick up the glass and shake it inward (counterclockwise for right-handed people and clockwise for left-handed people);

(3) Then tilt the wine inward and smell it with your nose. It's a good sign of incense.

〈 4 〉 Take a sip of wine, no more, no less. Turn your tongue to feel it. When you use wine in a restaurant, it's time to decide whether you accept this bottle of wine. Improper handling of wine may have a musty smell, which can make the waiter "return". The customer is satisfied with the wine tasting result, indicating that the waiter can continue to pour the wine. If you are not satisfied, you can say no to the waiter.

Fourth, accept the service of others.

Please remember not to raise a glass when you accept the wine service, because the wine itself is relatively high. If you raise your glass, it will bring inconvenience to the pourer. It is considered very polite to push the cup to a convenient place to pour wine. After pouring the wine, don't forget to thank the person who served you.

? If an elder pours wine for you, you can stand up and put the glass on the dining table, and then put your right hand on the foot of the glass. Of course, if you raise your glass with both hands to pick up the wine, it is also possible.

How to hold a cup

When drinking wine, people usually put their glasses back. This is to prevent the hand from touching the glass and raising the temperature of the wine, thus making the wine lose its original taste. This is why the bottom of the wine glass is designed to be so long.

Sixth, wine tasting.

Before tasting wine, we should first gently shake the glass to make the wine contact with the air evenly, so that the aroma of the wine can be fully emitted and the taste of the wine will be more pure. But in formal occasions, the number of shaking should not be too much, because it will affect the mood of other guests.

Never finish the wine at one go.

In addition, when drinking wine, we must not forget a very important point in wine culture, that is, caring and understanding others.

Seven, clink glasses to pour wine

When touching a glass, you should hold the foot of the glass with your right hand, tilt it to the side by about 15 degrees, gently touch the protruding part in the center of someone else's glass, and then drink a toast. This is to ensure that the glass will not break because of excessive force, and the sound will be clearer when touching the glass.

How to refuse to drink

? When you don't want to drink, it's not right to turn your glass upside down. You should put your hand on the glass, signal with your eyes or politely refuse the pourer.

Open a bottle?

When opening a bottle, first scrape off the top cover of the rubber cap near the top of the bottle neck with a knife, then wipe off the dirt on the top of the bottle neck and the cork with clean filament cotton cloth, and finally pull out the cork with a cork. However, when drilling a hole in a cork, care should be taken not to be too deep or too shallow. Too deep will penetrate the cork and make sawdust enter the wine; If it is too shallow, you may break the cork when you open the plug. After opening the bottle stopper, also use cotton cloth to wipe off the impurities at the bottle mouth from the inside out. ? (2) pour wine? When you pour wine into the cup, don't fill it too full. The pouring capacity should be 1/3 cup volume, and not more than 2/5 at most. In this way, the wine will not spill when shaking the glass, and the excess part of the glass can be filled with the aroma of the wine, which is convenient for analyzing and appreciating its aroma.

Clean the bottle first, and point the label at the guests to show your hospitality?

② Use the knife on the bottle opener (or use the bottle cutter) to cut the bottle seal along the protruding circular part of the bottle mouth. Be careful not to turn the bottle. ?

(3) after opening, wipe the bottle with cloth or paper towel. ④ Insert the screwdriver head of the bottle opener into the center of the cork, and slowly rotate it clockwise to enter the cork. When the handle is opened to the top, just pull down gently to pull out the cork. ⑤ Wipe the bottle mouth with a cloth or paper towel again, and you can try pouring the wine. Pour an ounce or so to taste the wine yourself, and then pour some for the guests to taste. Wait for the guests (or yourself) to determine the quality of the wine, and then officially pour the wine. It should be pointed out that women should be given priority. ?

⑥ Finally, put the wine bottle on the right hand side of yourself or the guest, and point the wine label at the guest. Order wine etiquette?

In high-end western restaurants, wine is a common table drink for westerners, so we usually order it first, and then order it according to the needs of the dishes. When ordering wine, be clear about the name or brand, model and year of the winery. Traditionally, guests should read the wine label before opening the bottle to confirm whether the type and year of the wine are consistent with the order. And then see if there are any traces of leaking wine at the seal of the bottle cap, and if the wine label is clean, then open the bottle. Open the bottle, take out the cork, and confirm whether the cork is wet. If it is wet, it proves that this bottle of wine has been preserved in a reasonable way. You can also smell the cork or try to drink it to further confirm the quality of the wine. After confirmation, you can officially pour the wine.

Hospitality etiquette?

When entertaining guests, the types of wine served should be arranged in the order of light before heavy, sweet before dry, white before red. In terms of quality, the more you drink, the more advanced you are, and the ordinary wine is served before the high-grade wine. When changing wine varieties, you should change glasses at the same time, otherwise it will be considered as a serious defect in service. When someone pours wine, guests can put their glasses on the table. If you don't want to pour more wine, shake the rim of the glass or cover it with your hand. Waiters usually pour the wine in sequence. Don't start taking the cup at this time, but put it on the table, and the waiter will pour it. ? Toast etiquette?

In western countries, banquet toasts generally choose between the main course and beets. When toasting, hold the cup in front of your eyes, look at each other, and at least take a sip of wine to show your respect. Toast should be made in the order of age, position, and guest and host status. Before toasting, we must fully consider the order of toasting and distinguish between primary and secondary. That glass of red wine has a short leg and a big body. You can hold a corner of the glass with your forefinger and middle finger, and stick to the glass when drinking. The temperature of your hand will help the red wine release its fragrance. When toasting and clinking glasses, your cup ratio is lower than the general scheme, showing your respect for each other. Drinking etiquette?

In order to prevent the temperature of the hand from raising the temperature of the wine, the correct posture of holding the cup is to gently hold the cup foot with three fingers, that is, hold the cup foot with thumb, middle finger and forefinger, and put the little finger at the bottom of the cup to fix it. Shake the glass gently and let the wine come into contact with the air to enhance the mellow taste of the wine, so don't shake the glass violently. When drinking, you must never suck and drink. Tilt the glass, just like putting the hotel on your tongue. When standing and drinking, you can hold the glass in one hand and hold the front of your body in the other, all the way to the upper part of your waist, so that your center of gravity will move up and people will look tall and beautiful. . ? The etiquette of holding a cup?

Everyone knows that beer cups and paper cups can't be used to hold wine, otherwise it will be as boring as drinking good coffee with paper cups. The wine in the restaurant should be accompanied by a goblet. Of course, the small glass of China white wine is too small to drink! When holding a cup, if you use the gesture of holding brandy, you are suspected of pretending to be an expert. Hand temperature is different from wine temperature. Hand temperature will affect the flavor of wine. Only holding the handle and the cup holder will not affect the temperature of the wine. This is the correct posture to hold the cup. ? Wine tasting etiquette?

This is the final judgment on the quality of a wine. Take a sip and let the wine distribute evenly on the surface of the tongue. If the taste is sweet and sour and has a aftertaste, it is basically good wine. Harvest classic dry red wine has smooth entrance, moderate acidity, mellow and harmonious taste, complete body and long aftertaste. ? How to drink red wine is a puzzling problem. Someone said, "The difference between wine tasting and drinking is thinking." In the west, wine tasting is considered as an elegant and meticulous taste, and for the leisure class, appreciating red wine is even more elegant. Tasting wine can be divided into five basic steps: watching color, shaking wine, smelling fragrance, tasting and aftertaste. ? A watch?

The evaluation of red wine begins with the eyes, because the appearance of red wine is an important symbol of its health, quality characteristics and brewing degree. First of all, look at the bottle packaging and see if the international bar code on the label on the back of the bottle starts with 3 words. The international code of France is 3, see if there is a Chinese sign on the label on the back of the bottle; Open the bottle and see if the words on the wooden wine stopper are the same as those on the bottle label. In France, wine bottles and wine stoppers are dedicated. Drinking red wine, the wine label is equivalent to the identity card of the wine. The wine label usually includes the name of the winery, the name of the wine, the variety of the wine, the capacity of the wine, the alcohol content, the country of production, the year of growth, the place of bottling, etc. This information is very important for experienced customers. For example, through the growth year of grapes, we can know whether the growth process is perfect or not, and we can also decide whether to drink it immediately or store it for several years. B shake?

Holding the bottom of the glass and shaking it? Hang the wine on the glass wall. The shaking will release esters, ethers and acetaldehyde in the wine, so that oxygen can be fully combined with red wine, and the unique aroma of red wine can be released to the greatest extent, so that the sommelier can judge the quality and characteristics of wine according to the aroma of wine. Shake the glass horizontally from the right side of the glass to see the speed at which the wine flows evenly from the glass wall. The stronger the wine, the slower the flow and the better the quality of the wine. ? C smells good?

When we taste wine, the nose is the most sensitive organ. In fact, the sense of smell of the nose is closely related to the taste of the mouth, and the feeling of the mouth will confirm the experience of nose smell. When you smell the wine without shaking it, the smell you perceive is the "first smell" of the wine, also called "pre-fragrance". Before smelling wine, it's best to take a breath of fresh outdoor air, then hold the foot of the cup tightly, tilt the cup at 45 degrees, and put the tip of the nose into the cup to smell the original smell of wine. At this time, the delicate, pleasant, elegant and rich aroma will come to the nose. Take a short sniff, but don't take a long deep breath, because the sense of smell can easily become dull, especially when you want to taste several lighter and more tender red wines. Ask yourself if you like the smell. Is it light? Is it fresh? Is it sour or sweet? Thick or sweet? Is it strong or graceful? After the glass rotates and shakes, you can smell the smell released from the wine quickly, which is the "second taste" of the wine, also called "lingering fragrance". Remember how to drink red wine. The smell of red wine, like the color, can reflect the variety of red wine and the maturity of red wine itself, partly because of the brewing method. This new wine will release the unique "extraordinary fragrance" of the grapes used in the brewing process. "Exogenous fragrance" traditionally refers to the smell people smell from tender red wine, and the word "mellow" is usually used to brew red wine. For Tibetan red wine, its aroma is long-lasting and rich, including flowers, fruits, earth, oak, fur, barbecue and other flavors. D taste?

Don't eat sweets before tasting red wine, otherwise you will feel sour, bitter and astringent. For most people, wine tasting means taking a sip of wine and then swallowing it quickly, but it's not called wine tasting. Tasting wine is a matter related to taste buds. Remember, let the wine spread around your mouth, on both sides of your tongue, behind your tongue, on the tip of your tongue and to the bottom of your throat. The taste buds on the tongue can distinguish four basic tastes: sweet, salty, sour and bitter. The tip of the tongue tastes sweet, the edges on both sides of the tongue taste salty, the upper side of the tongue tastes sour and the root of the tongue tastes bitter. Simply put, a good wine should have the following characteristics: moderate aroma, rich and complex enough; The taste of wine should be rich and complex enough and the aftertaste should be long enough; The flavors of wine and oak should be balanced. The above four points are the basic conditions of good wine, and they are indispensable. Sip the wine into a small mouth and put it in front of your mouth, let your tongue and related parts warm the wine, and let all kinds of flavors escape slowly and get better. I usually feel that the following flavors blend together: sweet? What is not sweet is called "dry", and the wine party that terminates fermentation in advance will leave some natural sugar. If the tongue obviously feels sugar, it belongs to slightly sweet to very sweet wine; Sour taste can be felt on both sides of the tongue and neck; Astringent taste, red wine has the highest tannic acid content and a strong sense of dryness; The smell of alcohol, when wine flows into the throat, will be filled with a warm current. The more alcohol, the warmer. ?

French red wine brands feel the stimulation of red wine to the mouth and the texture of the entrance. Different wines have different brewing methods, some are smooth, some are strong, and some are charming. Just like people, people are like wine, and the taste of wine can only be realized by careful tasting. E aftertaste?

At this moment, the sommelier can quietly experience the wonderful aroma, taste and characteristics: harmony, mellow, sweet, delicate, plump, continuous and pure? Real good wine, mellow and flawless, with endless aftertaste. Is the wine light? Is it moderately rich or relatively rich? Is red wine tannic acid too strong or too astringent? Have a good time? How long does the aftertaste last? The most important thing is whether you like this bottle of wine or not. After tasting the wine, it gives people a wonderful and warm feeling. ?

Red wine in French wine brands is like a perfect and harmonious symphony, with every note and tone clearly recognizable. Good red wine is indeed a brilliant artistic treasure in the wine industry. ? Where should I pay attention to when drinking red wine?

The most civilized way in the west is to keep your head straight, sip, and don't drink it all at once. Always leave a little hotel in the glass. It is impolite to drink it all at once when you don't propose a toast, or to look at people through the glass when you drink, to talk and drink with the glass, and to print lipstick on the edge of the glass.
