It is said that Hungarians never touch glasses when drinking. Why?

This was caused by the wars in their history. At that time, Hungary was at war with Austria and Hungary was defeated. The winning Austrian soldiers raised their glasses to celebrate, and the sound of clinking glasses left a shadow in the hearts of Hungarian people, so they never clinked glasses when drinking.

Hungary is a very beautiful country. It is located on the Danube, and its capital is the largest and most beautiful city in Europe. Hungary attracts many people to travel every year. When you come here, you can't help visiting beautiful scenery, tasting delicious food and drinking a little wine to entertain you. But perhaps few tourists know that Hungary has a taboo: in the local area, you can't touch the glass when drinking.

Then why can't Hungary clink glasses when drinking? This stems from the history of Hungary. This has to start from the18th century. 1849, a fierce war broke out between Austria and Hungary. At that time, Austria was stronger, but Hungary could not resist the powerful attack and eventually failed. The Austrian army brutally killed many revolutionary soldiers in Hungary, which was a deep pain for the Hungarian people. Hungary was annexed by Austria and ruled for many years.

The Austrian army that won the war at that time, in order to celebrate the victory, regardless of the dignity of the Hungarian people, raised a glass in front of them to celebrate the victory of the war. The soldiers clinked glasses to celebrate, and their faces were filled with happy smiles. Clinking glasses deeply hurt the hearts of the Hungarian people. So the Hungarian people swear: never touch the cup!

This agreement has been passed down for many years, handed down from history, and gradually became a local taboo. To this day, there are still many people in Hungary who insist on this decision and never touch glasses when drinking. But with the change of the times, some Hungarians slowly began to try to clink glasses when drinking beer.
