Drinking Etiquette

At the formal banquet, the waiter opens the wine bottle, first he has to pour it up and give it to the owner to taste it. The master should drink a small mouth carefully and comment on it, then taste it again, and feel that the wine is completely in line with the requirements, then give the waiter a hint that he can pour wine for the guests.

The order of wine is first and then the other guests.

When pouring wine, the wine glass should be placed on the table, and the wine bottle must not touch the cup mouth.

The position of the wine cup varies with different glasses.

The goblet should pinch the leg with the fingers, while the short leg cup will hold the wine cup with the palm of the hand.

As for wine pouring, there is a local dialect in China called "wine full of affection".

That is to say, wine is filled with respect.

Therefore, whatever wine is on the table, it must be filled with respect.

In fact, wine, champagne, brandy, sweet liqueurs and so on should not be filled up, but only 2/3 should be poured into the glass volume. The purpose is to make drinkers swirl up in the cup when drinking.

The wine can be brought into full play.

As a drink on the table, it has certain rules from the choice of drinking apparatus and the way of drinking. The so-called tea has tea ceremony and wine also has a wine road.

First of all, there is a lot of room to drink, to drink slowly, especially to drink strong wine, and never drink it all.

Some people are reluctant to give up in order to be brave and aggressive. You irrigate me, and I pour you into a "drink without losing" or "not drunk enough friends", and get drunk.

Even a bad mouth, a table and a stool, a neighbour, a happy life, and a result of detention or reparations.

This not only destroyed the atmosphere of friendship and joy, but also lacked manners and cultivation. It was one of the most taboo aspects of drinking at banquets.

Secondly, we should know the etiquette of drinking at a banquet.

As a guest of honor, you should understand the habit of toasting, that is, why people toast and toast, so as to make necessary preparations.

Care should also be taken not to cross the glasses while making a toast.

When the host and the host guest toast, they should stop eating temporarily, stop talking, listen attentively, and don't take this opportunity to smoke.

When the host and guest have finished speaking, after touching glasses with the VIP guests, they often toast to other tables. In this case, they should stand up and raise glasses to see each other's compliments.

Attention should be paid to toasting. Toasts should satisfy both wishes and literary grace.

For example, a long time ago, Jews raised their glasses and shouted "to live!"

A toast in Charlie and Dickens's Christmas hymn is widely used: "God bless you."

When the Chinese meet glasses, they say, "Congratulations". When the British meet glasses, they often say, "Cheers (Chiles)," the French say, "Sante" (Sant); the Spaniard says, "Sholus" (Salusa) has such a wonderful toast in Shakespeare's book: "good friends, good wine and good hospitality will become good people."

In addition to toasting, it is generally appropriate to talk about pleasant, healthy knowledge and genuine feelings before and after drinking, so as to maintain a warm, warm and optimistic atmosphere between the guests and the host.

Once again, if you are not good at drinking, you can decline your host's toast when you propose a toast. If your host asks you to drink some wine, you should not simply refuse to drink. You may drink some light wine or soft drink (such as cola, orange water, etc.) as a symbol, so as not to sweep everyone's interest.

Of course, as a toast, do not impose on others.

At the banquet, the amount of alcohol consumed should generally be 1/3 of the usual amount.

Fourth, in Western food, there are several tall goblets, including cold water cups, red wine glasses, white wine glasses, champagne cups, etc. on the top right side of each table, knife and fork and plate.

The two cups of red and white wine are basically the same, or slightly different in size. Champagne glass is another look.

Usually it is a tall foot cup or a tulip shaped thin cup. The choice of a glass must be based on the menu.

Eating styles in Europe and America are closely related to drinking.

It is said that this helps digestion, especially in banquets, receptions and other main occasions. Almost every dish is served with a specific wine. A specific cup is used to be strict.

France has always had the unwritten rules of white wine, fish and red wine with meat.

Champagne is the most common drink at a cocktail party. Champagne is known as the "king of wine" in Western food. It tastes cool and sweet. Because it is full of wine, it can produce crisp noises when opening bottles. At the high banquet, the tables are opened simultaneously, making the sound of banging, which is like the sound of firecrackers, adding a grand and warm atmosphere to the banquet.
