What's the etiquette for pouring wine?

You can't take each other's cups when pouring wine. Drinking tea is more casual.

How to pour red wine:

After drinking, if you accept it, you can ask the waiter to pour the wine, and the amount of each pour should be 1/3 cups-many waiters in China will pour too much. When pouring wine, the label should face the customer. In order to prevent red wine from dripping from the bottle mouth and making it into a flower wine label, the appreciation value of wine is damaged. Similarly, don't pick up the bottle straight after pouring. You should lift the bottle and rotate it slightly, so that the wine will not drip down the bottle, because it has been evenly distributed around the bottle mouth. When pouring wine, the correct way is usually 13 or 12 to fill the glass. Don't fill the glass in order to leave room for spinning and smelling the wine. For serious red wine, 1/3 glass is the best pouring position; * * * This is in line with the concept of ventilation for wine. * * * white wine can be poured to half a cup; Grape sparkling wine can be poured into 3/4 of the glass.

Etiquette of pouring liquor and beer;

First, the trademark faces itself and is installed in one third of the bottle.

Second, the way to pour wine in China is two-thirds, and western food is half unless the guests have special requirements.

Third, we should proceed counterclockwise, starting with the guests sitting on the left and finally ourselves.

1: If it's a family member, from the senior to the last.

2. You and your colleagues, customers, bosses and current guests, pay attention to ladies first!

3: When drinking beer, pour the wine and the glass wall will flow downwards! Eight or nine is full! Drinking red wine should be six points full and drinking white wine should be eight points full.

Whether at home or in a restaurant, be sure to show the wine bottle to the guests. When entertaining guests, the temperature of red wine should be equivalent to room temperature.

The temperature of red wine should be equivalent to room temperature. If your red wine is too cold, you can suggest that the guests warm the wine by hand. Liquor should be chilled first and put in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or put in the ice wine cooler with ice cubes and ice water for 20 minutes. Remember, the better the quality of liquor, the shorter the cooling time. If you forget to pre-ice, please put the bottle in the freezer 15 minutes.

Many people like to drink only their favorite wine all night, so careful hosts will prepare red wine and white wine at the same time. Although the thermos cup looks ugly on the table, it is quite practical to keep the ice degree of liquor on midsummer night. Please put two kinds of wine bottles at both ends of the table. Remember never to let guests drink two kinds of wine in the same cup, which is basic courtesy.

If only ordinary wine is served, please pour the wine into the glass bottle with stopper in advance, and the glass bottle need not be placed on the mat or silver plate. Many sommeliers believe that wines with increased alcohol concentration should be poured into glass bottles with stoppers before serving.

Unless the technology is excellent, please put a towel on the bottleneck to prevent it from slipping, and the bottle mouth should be up as far as possible to avoid spilling wine.

Sometimes you need a bottle basket and put it on a nearly horizontal slope, so that the sediment in the bottle will not be mixed with the wine.

Toast etiquette

First, when is the toast?

If it is a banquet, a toast is usually made before the banquet begins. The host toasted the guests to welcome them. Others usually start toasting after the main course is finished and dessert is served. But in informal occasions, the timing of toasting can be decided by the toaster, who can raise a glass to express his wishes or congratulations to others at any time.

2. Who is the first to propose a toast?

According to the traditional custom, it is usually the hostess or the host who starts the toast first, but this only applies to formal occasions. In informal occasions, such as friends' dinner, guests are often the first to propose a toast, which is to thank the host. It is worth noting that no matter who makes a toast, make sure that there is wine in each cup.

Third, attract attention.

When toasting, the host should raise his glass and stand to attract the attention of the guests present. No matter how noisy the party is, you should say politely, "Please pay attention! Please listen to me! "

4. Sitting or standing?

It depends on whether to toast sitting or standing. If you toast in the living room before meals, the toaster can stand up and toast. If there are few guests at dinner, the toaster can sit and toast, while if there are many guests, he should stand up and toast, so that the toaster can hear the toast. At the same time, if you are toasting newlyweds, leaders or elders, you need to stand up and make a toast.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) How to thank you?

When being toasted, the person who is toasted doesn't need to stand, just smile and accept it, and then say "thank you". Then, stand up and raise a glass to the host or others.

Sixth, cheers

Toasts should be short and appropriate. The first person who makes a toast at the banquet should prepare a short speech, which can be about recalling the past, stories or jokes related to the banquet, as long as it is in line with the atmosphere of the banquet. If you find it difficult to toast, it would be a good choice to join a group toast. Several people raised their glasses together and shouted "cheers to XX", which not only saved complicated toasts, but also enlivened the atmosphere.

Seven, how to clink glasses

When toasting, people usually touch each other's glasses, but the mouth of the goblet is very thin and brittle, and it is easy to break when colliding. Therefore, when toasting, the palms should be opposite, the cups should be separated, the belly should be touched as much as possible, and the eyes should look directly at each other to show respect.

Eight, avoid cheering and binge drinking.

When toasting, it is best to avoid drinking. When drinking wine, the toast should be gentle and soothing. Because real wine has its own stories and customs, it is a pity to swallow it in a big mouth.
