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 down, tapping the table a few times to express gratitude for pouring the wine.

How much wine should I pour? Liquor and beer can be drunk, and other foreign wines don't have to be drunk.

Toast time:

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 make a toast, and a standardized toast is also required. Ordinary toasting can begin as long as it is after the formal toast. 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.

Toast order:

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 are confused or unclear about your position and status, you should toast in a unified order, such as toasting clockwise from your side first, or toasting from left to right and from right to left.
