Why are you toasting? Is this custom just a kind of etiquette?

Many people will inevitably drink some wine when having dinner with relatives and friends, but when drinking, we will find that people are used to drinking first and then drinking, and when drinking, everyone should raise their glasses together. In fact, toasting while drinking has always been people's habit, which can also enliven the atmosphere, and the sound when toasting is also very nice. Even in ancient times, toasting while drinking was a kind of etiquette.

First of all, toasting while drinking can also increase people's sensory experience. As we all know, eyes can help us see a colorful world. When drinking, our eyes can enable us to observe the color of the wine we drink, such as red wine, white wine or beer. Nose can help us smell the aroma of wine, which will make us more excited. Just like food, we will naturally yearn for it as soon as we smell it.

Mouth can also help us taste the taste of wine, such as sweet or spicy. We can find that among these senses, only the ear is absent. Therefore, when we touch a cup while drinking, our ears can hear the crisp sound of the cup, so that our sensory experience will become more perfect.

Secondly, when people drink, toasting can enliven the atmosphere of eating. When we eat with friends and relatives, the atmosphere is the most important, and toasting can just help us make the atmosphere more active. Because the process of toasting needs everyone's participation, and everyone feels the sense of existence through people's clinking glasses. Although there is a glass in hand, it is happiness that comes down after touching a glass with someone. In addition, some people think that the sound of toasting is very festive and will make people feel happy. Some people even think that the sound of toasting can help people get rid of bad luck, and clinking glasses while drinking is also a yearning for a better life.
