What are the toast etiquette in the workplace dinner party?

The etiquette of toasting at a workplace banquet, if it is a formal toast, should be carried out at a specific time and cannot affect the guests' dining. 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 others, especially your toast, and say a blessing at the same time.

It is suggested that after the toast, you should stand up with a glass in your hand. Even if you don't drink, you should pick up the cup for show. Hold the cup up to eye level, okay? Cheers? After that, drink the wine in one gulp or in moderation. Then, you have to look at the proposer with a glass, and the process is over.

Before toasting, you should hold the cup in your right hand, gently hold your fingers on the bottom of the cup in your left hand to show your respect, and then symbolically touch the cup with each other; When clinking glasses, you should make your glass lower than the other's to show your respect for the other. Touching the table with the bottom of the glass can also mean touching the glass with the other side. You can do this when you are far away from each other. If the host toasts himself, ask for a toast to the host and toast with him again.

In general, toasting should be carried out in the order of age, position and the identity of the guest and the host. Be sure to give full consideration to the order of toasting and prioritize. Even if you are drinking with people you don't know, you should first inquire about your identity or pay attention to other people's names to avoid embarrassment or hurting feelings. Even if you want something from the guest at the dinner table, you should show him more respect. However, if there are people with higher status or elders present, we should also propose a toast to the elders first, otherwise it will make everyone very embarrassed.

If it is not suitable for drinking because of living habits or health reasons, you can also entrust relatives, friends, subordinates and younger generations to drink or use drinks and tea instead. As toasters, we should be considerate of each other. When the other person asks others to change the wine or drink, we should not insist on letting the other person drink, nor should we be curious? Get to the bottom of it.

The etiquette of pouring wine

When you pour wine, you must never hold the glass in your hand, mainly to prevent it from knocking down the bottle.

According to the regulations, except the host and the service staff, other guests are generally not allowed to pour wine for others themselves. If the host pours the wine himself, he should pour it with the best wine at this party. Guests should raise their glasses to express their thanks and stand up if necessary.

If it is a large business meal, it should be served by the service staff. Generally, you should pour the wine from the person with the highest position and then pour it clockwise. If you don't need wine, you can put your hand on the glass and say? No, thank you? Do it. At this time, there is no need for the sommelier to ask for wine again and again.

Others pour wine, they can also pay back the money? Finger tapping ceremony? Especially when you are above your master. That is, the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of the right hand are close together, and the fingertips are facing down. Tap the table a few times to thank you for pouring the wine.

When serving wine for the first time, the host can personally pour wine for all the guests, but remember, it is clockwise, starting with the guest sitting on the left and finally turning to the host. After the guests finish drinking, they can ask the person sitting opposite (the secondary host) to help add wine to the people around them.

If there is a leader present, it is best to pour the wine from the position of the leader, and then pour the wine one by one clockwise.

If there are many leaders and the seats are not uniform, it is best to ask the hotel waiter to pour wine, which is not only impolite, but also shows his identity.

When pouring wine, be careful not to fill it too full. Although we have an old saying that tea is half full, it is also a quantifier for friends or familiar people. Man here is just a quantifier, meaning 7? 8 minutes full, the main purpose is to facilitate the first time to drink with guests without spilling wine on your hands or table.
