What etiquette should I pay attention to when toasting?

Toast etiquette should pay attention to:

1. After sitting down, the host should pour the wine for the guests first, and the bottle should be opened on the spot. When pouring wine, he wants to hold the bottle in his right hand and point the trademark at the guest.

2, pour wine posture should be correct, should stand on the right side of the guest, the body should be neither close to the guest, nor too far.

3. When pouring wine, hold the lower part of the bottle with your left hand, gently pinch the bottleneck with your thumb and forefinger, and then pour the wine. Don't pour wine with one hand.

4. When pouring wine, the glass should be placed on the dining table, and the bottle mouth should not touch the glass mouth, with a distance of about 2 cm. Don't fill your glass too full. Eight o'clock is fine. If it is beer, pour the wine slowly and let the wine flow into the cup along the edge to avoid a lot of foam.

If there are elderly or senior colleagues present, or guests from afar, they should be served wine first. If not, you can pour the wine clockwise in turn. If the guests don't like this kind of wine, it's best not to force others to drink it, but to use other wines or drinks instead to show respect for the guests.

Before drinking the first glass of wine, the host should make a toast. Toast should focus on the central topic of the banquet, and the language should be short, concise and cordial, with certain connotation, which can create a good atmosphere for the banquet.

6. When clinking glasses, the host and guests touch first, and then clink glasses with other guests one by one. If there are more people, you can raise your glasses at the same time, and you don't have to clink glasses. Be careful not to cross glasses when toasting. Advise guests to be sincere and enthusiastic about drinking, but don't pour the wine by force. More importantly, avoid drinking too much, and be sure to control it within one tenth of my drinking capacity, so as to avoid gaffes.
