1. Toast clockwise
The etiquette order of toasting, if you drink with the leader or elder, start from the leader or elder and come one by one. Generally, friends are more casual and less particular. If you want to pay attention, it should be clockwise.
2, such as leaders, elders drink each other, before a toast.
The general etiquette of toasting is to let leaders or elders toast each other. After they finish drinking each other, the younger generation can start toasting. Don't toast as soon as the leader or elder comes. This feels like giving the leader a duel: "Let's do it first, please rest assured." This is unacceptable.
3. Leaders and elders can respect many people by one person, but you can't.
After all, leaders and elders are more qualified, older and more experienced than us, and they will also have some privileges to be our leaders and elders, so remember in the etiquette of toasting that they can drink with all of you alone, that is, they can drink one-on-one more. But the younger generation can't, they can only come one by one, unless you are the leader.
4, timely toast
It is very important to look around on the wine table and listen to it at the same time. It is also necessary to grasp the drinking needs of leaders or elders, know how to observe words and observe emotions, and add wine to them in time, especially when their glasses are empty. The order of adding wine is also very particular. Help the leader add wine first. In the etiquette of toasting, we should also toast at an appropriate time, and there should be no embarrassing scene where the leader wants to drink but no one respects him.
5, toast must prepare the appropriate toast.
Besides having a good capacity for drinking, speaking and toasting are also important. It is best to be able to say the toast in the hearts of leaders or elders, so that they are very happy after listening. Never drink alone. If you don't talk much, or don't know how to express it, you should do your homework before, and you can recite a few toasts in advance, so that you won't be speechless.
6, the way to toast
Toast sitting or standing should depend on the situation. If you toast in the living room before meals, the toaster can stand up and toast. If there are few guests at dinner, the toaster can sit and toast, while if there are many guests, he should stand up and toast, so that the toaster can hear the toast. At the same time, if you are toasting newlyweds, leaders or elders, you need to stand up and make a toast.
7. The host gives priority to toasting
Keep in mind the principle of "host first". At the dinner table, the host should take the lead in toasting and making a speech, and others should not usurp the role of the host.
