Colleague dinner etiquette
Toasts can be made at any time in the course of drinking. If a formal toast is given, it should be done at a specific time and should not interfere with the meal. Toasts are appropriate after the guests are seated, before the start of the meal. It can also be done after the main course and before dessert is served.
A toast during a drink, especially a toast or a toast, requires someone to take the lead in proposing it, either the host, the guest of honor, or someone present. When proposing a toast, you should get up and stand, pick up the glass with your right hand, or pick up the glass with your right hand, and then support the bottom of the glass with your left hand, with a smile on your face, looking at other people, especially your own toasting object, and saying words of blessing in your mouth at the same time.
After someone proposes a toast, get up and stand with your glass in your hand. Even if you are dripping alcohol, pick up your glass and make a show of it. Raise the glass to eye level and finish ? Cheers. After that, drink the wine in one go or in moderation. Then, you have to look at the proposer with the glass in hand, and the process is over.
In Chinese food, before the toast, you can symbolically clink glasses with each other; when clinking glasses, you should let your own glass lower than the other side of the glass, to show your respect for each other. With the bottom of the glass lightly touch the table, can also indicate and each other clink glasses. When you are far away from the other party, it is perfectly acceptable to do it in this way. If the master personally toast toast toast, ask for a toast back to the master, and he had another toast.
In general, the toast should be age, position, the status of the host and the guest as the order of precedence, be sure to give full consideration to the order of the toast, divided into main and secondary. Even if you're not familiar with the person you're drinking with, it's important to inquire about their identity or pay attention to their title to avoid embarrassment or hurt feelings. If you have a favor to ask of a guest at the table, you should naturally treat him with respect. But if there is a higher status or older people, you should also give the first toast to the elderly, otherwise it will make everyone very embarrassed.
If it is not suitable to drink alcohol because of habits or health reasons, you can also entrust friends, relatives, subordinates, juniors to drink on behalf of or to drink, tea instead. As a toast, you should fully sympathize with each other, and when the other person invites someone to drink on behalf of the other person or replace it with drinks, you should not let the other person drink, and you should not be curious about it? You shouldn't be curious and ask questions to the end. You should know that the other person did not take the initiative to explain the reason that the other person thinks that this is his privacy.
In Western cuisine, toasts are only made with champagne, and you can't cross over to toast with someone else.
Toasts to coworkers
Don't grab the wine
Generally speaking, when the cold dishes are on the table, after everyone has eaten something, the toast will be kicked off. But don't be in a hurry to show, to wait for your leader and the guest's leader to toast each other first, and then move from level to level, wait until you have this level, you can start toasting.
Not too humble
The posture of the toast also has a certain amount of attention, pick up the glass (such as a beer glass), the right hand chokes the cup, the left hand pads the bottom of the cup, remembering that their own cup is always lower than others. If you are a leader, please do not put too low, or call the bottom will be very difficult to do. Also remember that the toast can be more than one person, but not one person to many people, unless you are a leader.
Do not be haphazard for the wine
Their position is humble, remember to give the leader more wine, do not blindly to the leadership on behalf of the wine, that is, on behalf of the leadership, but also in the leadership really want to find someone on behalf of the people, but also pretend to be because of their own because they want to drink rather than in order to give the leadership on behalf of the wine and drink. For example, if the leader is not able to drink, you can stop the person who is ready to drink to the leader.
Everything in the unspoken
The table does not talk about business, drink well, business is about the same, we all heart is clear, or people will not be open to drink with you.
Don't get carried away
Some people's character is very poor, especially after drinking is on full display. Either they are shouting and talking nonsense, or they are hooking up with each other and moving their hands and feet; there are also mouths that foam and chatter. What's more, they drop bowls and plates and vomit in public. This is very rude, it will make people feel that you are frivolous, difficult to be a big deal, as for your cooperation project, I am afraid it is also in jeopardy.
