Etiquette on the wine table

"Wine culture" is also an ancient and fresh topic. Modern people find the function of wine more and more in the process of communication. I recommend several articles about table manners for your reference!

Etiquette on the wine table 1 1. The legend of baking bread

The history of toasting can be traced back to the beginning of historical records, and ancient warriors worshipped God.

Greeks and Romans did this, while ancient Norse toasted each other.

Almost every culture has the custom of toasting, which eventually evolved into a toast about love, friendship, health, wealth and happiness today.

In17th century England, there was a legend about toasting.

At that time, when people drank, there was a custom of toasting with a full glass.

In the famous hot spring resort (Bath, today's England, where the water is famous for its health), there lived a famous beauty. One day, after her lover filled her wine, she scooped up some hot spring water, added it to her glass, wished her health and drank it at one breath. Then all her friends toasted her in turn. In fact, friends don't really want to drink the water, but the form of toast has been handed down.

2. Toast etiquette

Toast is constantly changing with the development of the times.

In the past, people said that toasting was just to create an atmosphere on the wine table, but today's toasting is gradually upgrading to the status of social etiquette.

It is a way to get to know each other and enhance feelings, and it is also a tool to convey ideas.

On auspicious days, entering a higher school, opening a business or memorable days in life, relatives and friends get together to entertain with wine, which makes the atmosphere more warm and harmonious.

A good toast can make people refreshed, from which they can get good lessons and positive inspiration.

In addition, toasting is also a kind of etiquette to entertain foreign guests.

When the foreign guests arrived, they held a banquet to welcome them. At the beginning of the banquet, the host made a toast.

3. The meaning of the toast

Nowadays, some toasts are used for state banquets or diplomatic occasions, and some are used for weddings, birthday receptions and farewell banquets in daily life. But no matter what the occasion is, the word "Zhu" is the main toast, which contributes to a warm scene.

In a country's foreign affairs, a good toast can not only show the demeanor of a big country, but also reflect the civilized etiquette and image of a country.

At business banquets such as welcoming guests, thanking guests, and entertaining guests, toasting can partially explain views and show positions and attitudes.

Sometimes in business communication, if something is difficult to say, toasting may be a special way to reconcile feelings and achieve a certain goal.

At the same time, it can also bring more opportunities for your career development.

In some festive occasions, such as celebrations, weddings, birthdays, etc. A warm and charming toast can not only express the festive atmosphere, but also narrow the distance between people and make the atmosphere on the wine table more active and unpretentious.

Etiquette on the wine table 2 1) How to pour wine?

You need to pour the wine before toasting.

According to the rules, except the host and waiter, other guests are generally not allowed to pour wine for others themselves.

If the host pours his own wine, he should use the best wine at this banquet, and the guests should raise their glasses to express their thanks and stand up if necessary.

If it is a large business meal, the waiter will pour the wine.

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".

At this time, there is no need for the pourer to ask for wine again and again.

In Chinese food, when others pour wine, they can also give a "knocking ceremony" in return.

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.

How much should I pour? Liquor and beer can be drunk, and other foreign wines don't have to be drunk.

(2) When to propose a toast

Toast should be made at a specific time without affecting the guests' meal.

Toast is divided into formal toast and ordinary toast.

Formal toasts are usually made after the guests and hosts are seated and before meals. Generally, the host will make a toast, and a standardized toast is also required.

Ordinary toasting can be started as long as it is after the formal toast, but it should be noted that it is at the convenience of the other party. For example, he didn't propose a toast to others at that time and didn't chew food in his mouth, thinking that the other party might be willing to accept your toast.

If you propose a toast to the same person, you should wait for someone higher in status to propose a toast before you propose a toast.

(3) The order of toasting

What's the order of toasting? In general, the order should be based on age, position and the identity of guests and hosts. Before toasting, we must fully consider the order of toasting, prioritize and avoid embarrassing situations.

Even if you can't tell the position and identity, you should toast in a unified order, such as toasting clockwise from your side first, or toasting from left to right and from right to left.

(4) Behavior requirements for toasting

Toast is divided into formal toast and ordinary toast.

Formal toast means that at the beginning of the banquet, the host toasts everyone collectively and makes a formal toast at the same time.

This toast can be a little longer, but it will be finished in five minutes.

No matter the host or the guest, if they propose a toast to the group from their seats, they are required to stand up, smile, raise their glasses and face everyone.

When the host toasts everyone, everyone should stop eating and drinking.

When the host proposes a toast, everyone should stand up and raise their glasses and touch each other.

According to international practice, toasting doesn't have to be done, but even people who don't usually drink should sip their glasses to show their respect for their hosts.

In addition to the host toasting the group, guests can also toast the group.

The guest's toast can be shorter, even a sentence or two.

For example: "Ladies and gentlemen, to our common cause, cheers!"

Usually, the content of etiquette norms is more about ordinary toasting.

Ordinary toast means that after the host makes a formal toast, each guest and the host or guest can toast each other and say one or two simple toasts at the same time.

When someone makes a toast to you, raise your glass to eye level, and then drink it after the other person makes a toast or "cheers".

After drinking, you have to look at each other with a glass, and the process is over.

Pay special attention when toasting. No matter who respects or accepts, we should pay attention to local conditions and do as the Romans do.

In Chinese food, after the host toasts you personally, you should pay back the host and toast with him again.

In return, you should hold the cup in your right hand and the bottom of the cup in your left hand, and drink with each other at the same time.

When toasting, you can touch the glass symbolically. Don't use too much force. Be sure to hear the noise.

Out of respect, you can make your glass a little lower than the other's.

If the distance is far, you can touch the table with the bottom of the cup, which means touching the cup.

Different from Chinese food, champagne is generally used to toast in western food, and only toasts are not advised, only toasts are not really clinking glasses, and people around and far away are not allowed to cross-toast, especially cross-toast.

Etiquette on the wine table 3 People who often wander in the wine field should not ask the drinker for mercy, but ask themselves not to put the wine in their mouth. Learn to gently refuse alcohol, so that you can effectively protect yourself. Professionals teach you the etiquette of refusing, toasting and persuading wine on the wine table.

First, the etiquette of refusing to drink and toast.

There are usually three ways to refuse a toast:

The first method is to ask for some non-alcoholic drinks and explain the reasons for not drinking;

The second method is to let the other person pour some wine in the cup in front of him, and then gently push the bottle away with his hand. According to etiquette, you can not drink the wine in the cup;

The third way is when the toaster pours wine into his cup, tap the edge of the cup gently, meaning "I don't drink, thanks." When the host or friend warmly toasts himself, don't hide, let alone knock over the glass, or quietly pour the toast of others on the ground.

Toast should be enough, as long as it is sincere. Don't deliberately get others drunk, and don't secretly pour spirits into other people's soft drinks. For devout Muslims, toasting or even drinking is not allowed. Because it is against religious regulations for Muslims to drink alcohol. You shouldn't put many wine bottles on the dining table. At a formal banquet, all the hosts will propose a toast, and those who can drink will also have a drink in return.

When toasting, keep your upper body straight, your legs stand firm, raise your glass with both hands, and wait until the other person finishes drinking. The attitude of toasting should be warm and generous. At the grand banquet, the host will toast each table in turn, and each table can send a representative to the host's table for a drink in return.

Second, how to persuade wine etiquette at the dinner table

The banquet fully demonstrated the hospitality of the people of China. Emotional communication between people is often sublimated when toasting.

When people in China propose a toast, they often hope that the other party will drink more wine to show their friendship with the host. The more guests drink, the happier the host will be, which shows that the guests respect themselves. If the guests don't drink, the host will feel ashamed. Someone concluded that there are several ways to persuade people to drink:

Wen Jing, Jason Wu, and the capital of punishment. These practices have their simple folk customs, but they also have some negative effects.

"Wen Jing" is a reflection of the traditional way of drinking, that is, to persuade people to be polite and cautious.

At the beginning of a banquet, the host often makes a toast first after saying a few words. At this time, both the host and the guest should stand up. The host should finish the wine in the cup first and put down the empty glass mouth to show that he has finished it, so as to show his respect for the guests. Guests usually drink it too. During the dinner, the host often goes to each table to propose a toast.

"Return": This is the guest's toast to the host.

"mutual respect": this is a "toast" between guests. In order to make the other person drink more, the toaster will find out all kinds of reasons why it is necessary to drink. If the toaster can't find any reason to refute, then he can only drink. While the two sides are looking for arguments, the emotional communication between people has been sublimated.

"Replacing wine with wine": a way to avoid toasting without losing grace and disappointing the host and guest. I can't drink, or drink too much, but the host or guest should pay tribute. You can ask someone to change the wine at this time. People who drink for him usually have a special relationship with him. At the wedding, the best man and bridesmaid of both men and women are often the first choice for drinking, so be sure to drink a lot.

In order to persuade wine, there are many anecdotes at the banquet, such as "deep feelings, stuffy mouth, thick feelings, enough to drink" and "shallow feelings, lick it."

"Fajiu": This is a unique way of "toasting" in China. The reasons for "punishing alcohol" are also varied. Perhaps the most common is the "three glasses of wine" for those who are late for the party. Sometimes this is a joke.

Tibetans are very hospitable. When entertaining guests with highland barley wine, first fill the glass with wine and serve it to the guests. At this time, the guest should hold the glass in both hands, then hold the cup in one hand, put the middle finger and thumb of the other hand into the cup, dip it gently and play it in the air to show respect for the gods. Next, they will come again for the second time and the third time to worship Buddha respectively. This traditional habit is to remind people that the origin of highland barley wine can not be separated from the generosity of heaven and earth Buddha, so we should worship the gods before enjoying the wine. When drinking, the custom agreed by the Tibetan people is: take a sip first, and the owner will immediately fill the glass with wine, then take the second sip, then fill it up, then take the third sip and then fill it up. In the future, you have to drink a full glass of wine at one go. In this way, the host will feel that the guests respect him very much, and the more the guests drink, the happier the host will be. It shows that the master's wine is well brewed. When Tibetans toast, male guests use large cups or bowls, while female guests use small cups or bowls.

Zhuang people don't use cups to toast their guests, but use white porcelain spoons, scoop a spoonful from each wine bowl and drink each other. At this time, the host will also sing a toast song: "The tin pot is filled with white wine, so you don't mind the wine in front of you. I sincerely respect my guests, and I respect you like a fairy. " A tin can contains a glass of white porcelain wine. Don't push until you've finished drinking. Although wine is not made by human feelings, you are a fairy who drinks half a glass.

When the Yugur people in the northwest entertain guests, they always propose a toast. No matter how many guests there are, the host only takes out two wine glasses, and the hosts present take turns toasting the guests. Become a etiquette.

People in China like to persuade people to drink more at parties. The origin of this practice is very early. There is a poem in The Book of Songs Xiaoya Chutz: "Think about wine and food, reward it as a sacrifice, treat it appropriately, and draw it as a scene." Well, it means persuasion. The title of the poem was originally intended to persuade the recipient not to eat enough, so he advised drinking and eating. Persuading people to drink more glasses of wine, on the one hand, expresses the sincerity of the toaster, hoping that the other party will drink enough, and at the same time, it can enliven the banquet atmosphere and add fun to the drinkers. But I don't know since when, the persuasion of wine has gone too far, even with a considerable "forced" meaning, even taking pleasure in getting drunk. This practice has been opposed by many people since ancient times. In ancient books such as Confucius, Lushan Lu, Tunweng Zawen, there are records of opposing alcohol persuasion. Ruan Kuisheng, a figure in Qing Dynasty, quoted Chen Jiting's words in Tea Guest Talk: It is a courtesy for diners to persuade them to drink, and vice versa. A gentleman drinks alcohol, and he is frank and sincere; Scholars always make sense. A husband is a vulgar servant, prestige is respected, abuse is thick, drunkenness is fun, and learning is excellent is an official. His words implied contempt for the working people. In fact, there are fewer people in the ruling class who force drinking! But what he said was not to persuade wine, but to be desirable. Unfortunately, things that make people drunk still happen from time to time. What else is made up? "Deep feelings, a stuffy mouth; Phrases such as "If you are shallow, lick it" and "Don't let go of drinking, feelings are quantity" stubbornly combine "drink more" with "deep feelings", regardless of alcohol consumption and harm to the body. This is really a bad habit that must be given up.

Third, the handsome guy takes you to taste red wine.

Do you like drinking red wine? In recent years, more and more people are keen on tasting red wine, but not everyone who is keen on red wine knows the correct drinking method of red wine. Then, let's discuss a lot of knowledge in red wine!

How to prepare to drink red wine?

Red wine is placed horizontally, and the cork will decompose and produce sawdust if it is soaked for a long time. Stand up the day before drinking and let the sawdust settle on the bottom of the bottle. Note that the bottom of the bottle of red wine bulges towards the middle. This design is not to hold the bottle well, but to let the sawdust sink into the ditch.

Red wine can't be drunk with ice, nor can it be put in an ice bucket like champagne. The optimum drinking temperature is 10~ 14℃. In winter in Guangzhou, you can drink directly; In summer, it is best to put it in the freezer first, take it out one to half an hour before eating, open the bottle first, put it aside and slowly sober up to let the temperature rise.

How to taste wine?

Look at the color of the wine first. For correct observation, put the glass in front of the white background and tilt the glass slightly outward. Pay attention to whether there are sawdust or impurities, and observe the color of the wine. Brown, broken; Purple, the wine is very young; Deep red, brown in appearance, good wine.

Then there is the smell of wine. Cover the mouth of the cup with your nostrils and take a deep breath. High-end red wine smells very "strong", which makes people feel very strong and complicated. Because the nose is far more sensitive than the tongue, sometimes a glass of wine tastes more and more fragrant after an hour, so that I don't want to drink it later.

After smelling it, I feel very strong, then try to drink it, take a shallow sip, put it in your mouth, push the wine to your mouth with the tip of your tongue, and try to make all taste cells feel it.

How to pour wine?

The bottles of high-grade red wine are collected, because some wine labels are simply works of art. In order to avoid the "flow" of wine labels, the correct way to pour wine is to make the wine labels face up. Old wine (more than 8- 10 years old) must have sawdust at the bottom of the bottle, even if it is three or five years old, some have sawdust. Therefore, be careful when pouring wine. In addition to not shaking the bottle, leave a little on the shoulder of the bottle when you finish pouring it. It is not right to turn the bottle upside down and try to pour the last drop of wine.

How to sober up?

After the red wine is opened, let it stand for 15 minutes to 1 hour according to the type, quality and maturity of the wine, and let it "breathe" with the air for chemical interaction. If you don't have patience, you can pour it directly into the glass (according to international standards, it can't exceed one-third of the glass capacity), or even shake the glass to speed up the chance of wine contacting the air.

There are two ways to shake the glass. One is to pick up the glass and shake it inward. In this way, the glass is suspended, and it takes a little skill to shake it evenly. Another method is to hold the foot of the cup with your forefinger and middle finger, put the whole palm flat on the bottom of the cup, press the bottom of the cup on the table, and rotate it like grinding ink, with less force to avoid the wine overflowing from the mouth of the cup.

How to taste wine?

Expensive and delicious red wine is a work of art, don't "drink" it, but "taste". Before each tasting, shake the glass, then take a deep breath through your nose and take a sip, so that the wine can stay in your mouth for a while before swallowing.

Attention, please clean your mouth before drinking, otherwise there will be lip prints on the cup. Please don't drink it all at once. In addition, drink red wine without sprite or lemon, which will destroy the original flavor of red wine. Shake a small handleless wine cup, one by one to compare the amount of alcohol, not the way to drink red wine.

Fourth, how to pour wine

First of all, when pouring wine, the correct way is usually that the glass is only half full.

Whether the banquet is held at home or in a restaurant, if you offer precious wine, be sure to show the wine bottles to the guests.

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.

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.

Please put the liquor in the refrigerator for at least two hours before the banquet, or put it 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. But wherever you put it, don't forget to take it out!

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.

When serving wine for the first time, the host can pour wine for all the guests himself, but remember, it should be counterclockwise, starting with the guest sitting on the left and finally taking the host's turn. After the guest has finished drinking, you can ask the person sitting opposite you (that is, the second host) to help add wine to the people near him. If you prepare red wine and white wine at the same time, please put two 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.

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.

Etiquette on the wine table 4 1. You can't sit casually at the banquet: there are strict priorities. First of all, you can't sit alone, but walk in with other guests. The other person who enters the door is the upper seat. Three seats are the most important; The seat in the middle of the table is for the host-the inviter or payer of the party. On the right is the VIP table, a table of distinguished people. The second one is on the left. Both sides and each other are accompanying guests and second-class guests. In fact, the wine table in the hotel has long been marked: there is a bird folded with cloth and silk in the glass, and its head is facing the table. The host is the soul on the wine table, sending guests, adding vegetables, paying the bill and ordering food.

The first glass of wine should be filled, and the host stands up to respect you. This is dry, you don't drink, and you can't escape drinking for the first time. Show respect. In the future, they will attack each other and defend themselves, depending on their ability.

You'd better stand up when people propose a toast to you. Pour you more wine and tap twice on the table with your index finger and middle finger to express your gratitude. Stand up and walk, don't walk in front of other people's chairs, but walk behind yourself.

Don't stir the soup basin with chopsticks, use a spoon. Some use public chopsticks on the wine table, while others don't. You can't just pick up food for others with chopsticks. The best way is to turn the round table upside down, but you can't turn it over. Pass the dish basin or dish to the other side. Don't serve your own food, but move chopsticks according to the owner's instructions. Don't talk to the dish basin or dish. Say, put your hand over your mouth. There are boiled shrimp, shredded steak and so on. And I will definitely send a cup of hand washing water. Many people have made a fool of themselves, drinking hand washing water as soup, and complaining about hotel gadgets, saying that "clear soup" is reluctant to put a little salt. Don't dance and talk loudly on the wine table. Splash will make guests unhappy. Some dishes are divided according to the head, and each person has a piece (lump, only). Don't grab other people's indicators just because they feel delicious. If you look bad, people will look down on you. You can eat fish anywhere you want. Don't turn it over.

Pour less wine for the guest of honor than for the host. When the host points it out, as a waiter, you should say: Add wine to fill the happiness, and people will live longer with each passing day. Add it to the guest of honor in time.

6. When guests spill wine, in order to save, when adding wine, you should say at the same time: pouring wine is a blessing, and sprinkling it on the ground is also a blessing, full of flowers and prosperity. When the guests are not paying attention, just add it in time.

7. To serve an approachable chief, you should salute and say, "Report to the chief, you are a leader, I am a soldier, you are a hammer, I am a nail, and my excited heart is shaking. I brought a glass of wine to the leader. " If you can drink this glass of wine, you should say, "After drinking it, you can see that your usual work is also vigorous and meticulous." Then bring a cup of tea at the back.

When you propose a toast to the guest, the whole table says, "He won't drink or not." At this time, you have to find a step, "As long as you have feelings, everything is wine. You can use tea instead of wine to show our respect for you. "

9. When touching a glass with others, the glass is slightly lower than others. When clinking glasses with others, you should hold your hands instead of touching them with your other hand. This is disrespectful to others. The correct way is to put your left hand on the bottom of the cup, hold the cup in your right hand, and hold the cup lower than others' cups when touching it. This is a kind of respect.

10 toast in an orderly way, with clear priorities. Pay attention to the order of toast, and don't make a toast in disorder. Generally, the order of toasting is that the host respects the guests, the guests respect the guests, the guests reciprocate and the guests respect each other.

About toasting

1, the host respects the guest.

2. Accompany guests and respect them.

3. Host and guest thank each other.

4. Accompany guests and respect each other.

Guests must not make a toast in disorder, which is very impolite and disrespectful to the host.

Skills on the wine table

1, enjoy the whole people, don't whisper.

There are many guests at the banquet, so don't be too biased. Avoid chattering and hating people. Try not to whisper to others and give others a sense of mystery, which will often cause jealousy of "just you two" and affect the effect of drinking.

2, aim at both sides, grasp the overall situation

Drinking is mostly for a purpose. When you go to eat, you should first look around and prioritize. Don't drink for the sake of drinking, you have lost a good chance to make friends. The most important thing is to lock in local tyrants at the banquet. Everyone knows what to do next. ...

3. Appropriate language and humor

The wine table can show a person's talent, common sense, self-cultivation and communication etiquette. Sometimes a humorous language will leave a deep impression on the guests and make people feel good about you invisibly. It's actually very simple to make yourself humorous. Just keep reading fake doctors' articles.

4, moderate persuasion, don't force.

On the wine table, we often encounter the phenomenon of persuading wine, and the amount of alcohol can be large or small. Sometimes, if we talk too much, it will ruin our feelings. When others advise you to drink, and you can't drink well, learn to politely refuse. For example, I'm going to be a father this year. If you meet an SB who insists on persuading you to drink, you might as well tell him generously: I'm going to the toilet to throw up.

5. Toast in an orderly way, with clear priorities.

Baking bread is also a science. Generally speaking, a toast should be made in the order of age, position and the identity of the guest and the host, and we should know fairly well. If you are drinking with an unfamiliar person, you should first ask who you are and what you call it to avoid embarrassment.

When toasting, you must grasp the order of toasting. If you want to have a guest at the dinner table, you should be respectful to him, but you should pay attention to the fact that if someone with higher status or older people is present, you should not only be respectful to those who can help you, but also propose a toast to the respected elders first, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed.

6. Read words and understand people's hearts.

If you want to get everyone's appreciation on the wine table, you must learn to read and read. Because when dealing with people, we must understand people's hearts, so that we can play a good role on the wine table.

7, the edge is gradually exposed, sit firmly on Mount Tai.

At the banquet, you should see the situation clearly. Even if you can drink well, you should keep a low profile, choose the right opportunity and gradually radiate your edge. Only in this way can you sit firmly on Mount Tai and not give others the idea of "that's all you can do", so that everyone can't underestimate your strength.
