When it comes to drinking, almost everyone has experienced it personally, and "wine culture" is also an ancient and fresh topic. In the reflection? Takeshi? According to Wei Yaochuan, Sun Hao, the master of Wu, gave a banquet and was not good at drinking. Sun Hao used tea instead of wine.
Modern people find the function of wine more and more in the process of communication. As a media, wine plays a unique role in welcoming guests, meeting friends, communicating and passing on friendship. Therefore, exploring the "mystery" on the wine table will help you successfully ask for communication.
1, pour the wine
You need to pour the wine before toasting. According to the regulations, except the host and the service staff, other guests are generally not allowed to pour wine for others themselves. If the host pours the wine himself, he should pour it with the best wine at this party. Guests should raise their glasses to express their thanks and stand up if necessary.
If it is a large business meal, it should be served by the service staff. 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 sommelier to ask for wine again and again.
In Chinese food, when others pour wine, they can also give a "finger tapping 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.
Liquor and beer can be drunk, and other foreign wines don't have to be drunk.
It's time for a toast.
When toasting at a specific time, the first consideration is not to affect the guests' dining. 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 propose a toast and say a standard drinking word at the same time.
Ordinary toast, as long as it is a formal toast, you can start. But be careful when the other person is convenient. For example, he didn't propose a toast with other people or chew, thinking that the other person might be willing to accept your toast. Moreover, when toasting the same person, you should wait for someone taller than yourself to toast before toasting.
3, the order of the toast
What's the order of toasting? In general, the order should be based on age, position and the status 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 difference or your position and status, you should unify the toast order, such as toasting clockwise from your side first, or toasting from left to right and from right to left.
