How to clink glasses with elders at the dinner table?

Since ancient times, China has been known as "the country of etiquette", which shows that China people have a good tradition of respecting the old and caring for the young. Toast focuses on banquet rules, such as pouring wine, toasting and toasting.

If you don't know how to clink glasses with others, here are four things to do:

First, pour the wine.

Generally, as a male host, in order to show respect and friendliness, he will personally pour wine for his guests. Pour wine for the elders first, and if there are guests, pour wine for the guests first and then pour wine for the elders. If not, you can pour the wine clockwise in turn.

Second, clink glasses.

After the host or others toast, you should stand up with a glass in your hand. Even if you don't touch alcohol, you should pick up your glass and pretend. When touching someone else's cup, it is a kind of respect to hold the cup lower than others' cup.

When drinking, raise the glass to the eye level. After saying "cheers", you should drink it all at once, or drink half of it, or just the right amount. Then, you need to raise your glass and look at the toaster, and the process is over.

It should be pointed out that:

If you can't drink because of living habits or health reasons, you can refuse other people's suggestions in one of the following ways.

State the objective reasons for not drinking. Take the initiative to replace wine with other drinks. Entrust relatives and friends, subordinates or younger generations to drink on their behalf.

When others pour their own wine, don't hide, push the bottle around, knock on the glass mouth, turn the glass upside down and secretly pour it out. It is also wrong to pour your own wine into other people's cups, especially if you drink a little wine.
