Etiquette when toasting

Everyone is familiar with the etiquette and wine table culture when toasting. Nowadays, when you invite people to dinner, wine is an essential drink. If you can make leaders, elders or friends happy on the wine table, it will definitely give you extra points and make things easier. So what are the etiquette when toasting?

Etiquette when toasting 1 1. Toast time: Toast can be divided into formal toast and ordinary toast. A formal toast can be made after the guest and host are seated, but before the meal. Ordinary toast, as long as it is a formal toast, you can start.

2. Toast posture: 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 and look at the toast object.

3. Toast order: Toast should be in the order of age, position and the identity of the guest and the host. We should prioritize and respect our elders first.

4. Toast etiquette: Keep in mind the principle of "master first". At the dinner table, the host should take the lead in toasting and making a speech, and others should not usurp the role of the host.

If someone toasts and finds that there is no wine in his glass, he should take an empty glass and respond to others' toasts with everyone. You can touch the mouth of the glass with your lips and make a gesture. When someone makes a toast, if it is a casual occasion, you can sit and drink. If the host stands up to make a toast, he should stand up and drink back and forth to show his respect for the host.

Etiquette in toasting II. seating arrangement

Generally speaking, we eat. The table is a big round table and a square table. If it is in a hotel, it is facing the door. If you are at home, you are facing the TV. The one sitting in the theme is definitely the guest of honor, and the one sitting on the left or right of the guest of honor is the host.

After the positions of the guest of honor, the guest of honor and the deputy guest of honor are determined, others can do whatever they want. Remember that the assistant must sit at the door and where the food is served, because the assistant is responsible for ordering, adding vegetables, pouring wine and checking out.

Second, order.

Ordering food is a university question. Being able to order food is as important as drinking. Before inviting others to dinner, ask them what they are afraid of, and don't order all the dishes that others don't eat.

Be sure to grasp the time of ordering. Generally, the invited people will not arrive in advance, but will arrive on time or a few minutes later. Be sure to order cold dishes before the guests come, put them on the table, and then order other dishes when the guests come. Generally, the host and guest don't order food, and the guests who order food are second-class, second-class or third-class guests.

If the number of people is about ten, then the specifications of the dish are generally "eight cool and eight hot, four meat and four vegetarian dishes", and there must be a fish, which means more than one year. If the number of people is about 20, then the specification of the dish is "sixteen cool and sixteen hot, eight meat and eight vegetarian dishes".

Third, propose a toast.

(1) How to pour wine?

If you drink white wine, then fill the white glass, and everyone will drink it off when they raise their glasses for the first cup. If you drink red wine, you should first pour the wine into the decanter to sober up, then pour it for everyone, and pour the red wine into one-third of the glass. You can't finish red wine in one gulp, just take a sip.

② When is the toast?

The first person to propose a toast must be the host or guest. Generally speaking, guests, leaders and people with the highest seniority should be toasted first, and then toasted next to each other in turn. After the host or guest toasts everyone, it's time for others to toast.

③ Etiquette when toasting.

If you respect leaders, elders or unfamiliar people, then your glass must be lower than that of leaders, elders or unfamiliar people, and you should hold the cup with both hands. Don't raise your glass with one hand. If a leader, elder or stranger comes to propose a toast to you, you should do the same. If others stand up, you should stand up too.

How much you drink in a toast depends on how much others drink. If the leader or elder drinks with you, then you must drink much more than the leader or elder. In addition, don't say to the leaders or elders: I did it, you are free, and you will embarrass the leaders and elders.

(4) What do you say when toasting?

As a host or guest, to propose a toast to others, you can say thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule. Please forgive me if there is anything wrong. If you want to respect your host or entertain guests, you can say thank you for your hospitality and trouble.

Others can say some auspicious words when toasting each other, such as wishing each other good health and getting better and better, or drinking to friendship.

⑤ Moderate toast.

Don't make endless toasts. If someone clearly says that alcohol consumption is not good when toasting, then don't let others drink more. In addition, people who can't drink or girls say that tea is used instead of wine, never say: it is my shame not to drink. Understand people who can't drink or can't drink well, so that others will have a good impression on you.
