Check The Wine Culture On The Table

　　 1. choose wine and take it.

When you eat Chinese food, you can drink liquor, yellow wine, medicinal wine and beer. When you eat Western food, you can choose wine or beer, and beer is only eaten when you have lunch.

In China, Baijiu is the most common drink. It can be used for drinking and drinking. It can also be used to help eat vegetables and serve rice, and even can be used as a medicine for inducing foam. Once liquor is drunk with other drinks such as beer, soda, cola and so on, it is easy to get drunk.

stay Formal occasion It is better to use special porcelain cups or glasses to hold the wine, so that we can deal with the unwritten rules of "one gulp" and "full respect for wine". When you drink liquor, you don't need to warm or add ice or dilute it with water.

Western food is divided into three types: wine before meals, after meals and after meals.

One is the wine before dinner or the aperitif. It is the wine that the guests are invited to drink before the entrance. They are cocktail, whisky, Mai Heng Deng, Fu Mao Si, Martini and beer. In addition, juice, soda and cola should also be prepared. The purpose of aperitif is to stimulate appetite, drink too much instead of appetite, so don't drink too much.

One is Table wine It is the wine that is served with dishes when serving dishes. Commonly used are: snow wine, white wine, red wine, champagne, etc., as well as our country's yellow rice wine, Shaoxing wine and so on. At the banquet, if the Chinese liquor is drunk, the host only serves a kind of wine, and the guest needs no choice. But it is best to prepare several kinds of wine.

For Western food, every waiter will serve wine once, and the wine will be different from dishes. Commonly used wines include snow liqueur, vermouth, champagne or cocktail.

One is the after dinner wine or the digestive juice. Commonly used are brandy, snow and peppermint wine.

In the west, the right way to pour wine is to pour only half full of wine in a cup. When we eat Chinese food, we are used to filling our guests with a glass of wine to show our respect for our guests.

If it is not a famous wine, it is best to put it in a beautiful glass bottle.

Red wine should be kept in a low temperature room. Good red wine should be opened before the meal, so that it can breathe for an hour of air and taste better. If you drink red wine for the guests in the cold season, you should suggest that the guests hold the wine cup in their hands for a few minutes, so that the wine can quickly heat up.

Before dinner, you should put white wine in the fridge for two hours at least. If you have ice cream, put it in ice water for 20 minutes. Be more prepared. Wine Glass Because the other wine in the used cup will change the flavor of the wine.

　 2. wine and vegetable collocation

After a few drinks, the side dishes should be selected.

You can make use of mixed wine and aperitif before meals, while cold dishes and seafood are used for white wine. Yu Hong wine is used for meat and poultry game. Sweet wine or sparkling wine should be chosen for dessert. The combination of wine and wine is: low alcohol first, high wine at the back; first breath, no gas at the back; new wine at first, old wine at the back; elegant and elegant style at first, strong at the back; common wine before, precious liquor at the back; white wine first, red wine at the back, and preferably the same country, wine as a banquet wine.

In principle, it is "white meat with white wine, red meat with red wine". White wine is suitable for appetizers and other dishes, such as shrimps, crabs, shellfish, fish and so on. Stewed beef and other rich meat dishes with red wine. Fried meat with light red wine. It is also possible to choose wine by country: French wine, French wine, Italian cuisine, and German food with sausages and ham sausage. You can drink snow when you drink soup. Champagne is used when the last dish or dessert is served.

Wine tasting begins with wine labels. Look at the label of the wine, check whether it is your own wine, you can see: the grape harvest, the name of the wine, the origin of the wine. Then, pour a little into the glass, raise the glass to see if the color of the wine is beautiful, then smell the aroma of the wine, and finally taste it. In addition to the obvious deterioration, the wine bottle can be exchanged for wine. Generally, it is not allowed to retire.

　　 3. how to pour wine

When the waiter comes to pour wine, you don't have to pick up the glass, but don't forget to thank the waiter. If the owner is pouring wine himself, he must give a glass of wine to thank him, or even stand up or stand up and give thanks. You can also use the "finger pointing ceremony", that is, using the thumb, index finger and middle finger of the right hand to knead together, pointing fingers down, and tapping a few tabletop to express gratitude. The owner should pour himself into the wine, pay attention to everything: be equal to each other; pour the right amount of wine, fill the white wine and beer, and refrain from filling the rest of the wine. In formal occasions, guests and guests usually do not pour their own wine except their owners and waiters.

　　 4. key points for toasting

Toast is toast. It means that at the formal banquet, the hostess proposes to the guests and puts forward some reason to drink. When drinking, there are usually wishes and wishes, and even a special toast will be published by the host and guests. The shorter the toast, the better.

Toasting can be done at any time during the drinking process. If you make a formal toast, you should do it at a specific time and do not affect the guests' meals. Toasts are suitable for guests and guests to eat before meals. It can also be done after eating the main course and dessert on the table.

When drinking, especially toasting and toasting, someone needs to take the lead in proposing that it can be the owner, the guest of honor, or the person present. When proposing a toast, we should stand up and stand up, hold the wine glass on the right hand, or pick up the glass with the right hand, then put the left hand on the bottom of the cup, smile and see other people especially their toasts.

It is suggested that after a toast, you should stand up with a glass in your hand. Even if you don't drink, you must pick up the cup and do it. Lift the glass to the height of your eyes. After finishing your toast, drink the wine or drink it in moderation. Then, let's take a look at the glasses and the proponents. The process is over.

In Chinese food, before you drink, you can symbolically touch your glass with each other. When you clink glasses, you should let your glass be lower than the other's cup, showing your respect. Touch the table lightly with the bottom of the glass, or touch the other person. When you are far away from the other party, you can do it in this way. If the host gives a toast, ask him to give his master a drink.

Under normal circumstances, toast should be based on age, position and guest status. Order must be fully considered. Even if you are drinking with someone you are not familiar with, you should first check your identity or pay attention to the title of others and avoid embarrassment. Even if you have a guest on the table, you must be more respectful to him. But if a person with a higher status or age is present, he must first toast the elderly.

If you are not fit to drink because of habits or health reasons, you can entrust relatives or friends, subordinates or younger generation to drink or substitute drinks or tea. As a toast, we should be fully considerate of each other. When the other party asks for a substitute for wine or drinks, we should not let the other party drink, nor should we be curious to "break the casserole in the end". You know, people do not take the initiative to explain why they think it is his privacy.

In Western food, make a toast and use champagne instead of drinking.
