First, pour the wine.

Usually, drinks should be poured into a glass before drinking. Sometimes, in order to show respect and friendliness to the guests, the host will personally pour wine for them.

When the waiter pours the wine, don't forget to thank you, but you don't have to pick up the glass. When the host comes to pour the wine in person, he must raise his glass to thank him, and if necessary, he needs to stand up or bow his head as a greeting. Sometimes, you can give them a "finger tapping ceremony" in return. That is, the thumb, index finger and middle finger of the right hand are pinched together, and the fingertips tap the desktop a few times. This method is suitable for Chinese banquets. It means thanking each other.

The wine poured by the host for the guests should be the best wine at this banquet and should be unsealed on the spot. Pay attention to three points when pouring wine:

1, be comprehensive, treat everyone equally, be selective and oil-free, and only pour wine for individuals.

2. Pay attention to the order. You can start clockwise from where you are sitting, or you can pour wine for your elders and guests first.

3. Pour wine in moderation. Liquor and beer can be drunk, but other foreign wines are not so particular. If they are loaded too much, it is obviously inappropriate and a waste. Except the host and waiter, other guests are not allowed to pour wine for others by themselves.

Second, propose a toast.

Toast is also called toast. It specifically refers to the fact that at a formal banquet, the host proposes drinking to the guests for some reason. When toasting, we usually say some words of blessing. At the formal banquet, the host and guest will also make a special toast solemnly. Therefore, toasting is often an indispensable procedure for banquets.

You can toast at any time when you drink. Often toasting will make the atmosphere warm and cheerful. However, if a formal toast is made, the first consideration is not to affect the guests' dining at a specific time.

Third, cheers.

Cheering usually refers to persuading others to drink in some way when drinking, especially when toasting or toasting, or suggesting that the other person drink with himself at the same time. When drinking a toast, you often drink the wine in the toast, so it is called a toast. Sometimes, toasts have to clink glasses with each other, so they are also called clinking glasses.

After the host or others toast, you should stand up with a glass in your hand. Even if you don't touch alcohol, you should pick up your glass and pretend. When you propose a toast, you should raise your glass to eye level. After saying "cheers", you should drink it all at once, or drink half of it, or just the right amount. Then, you need to raise your glass and look at the toaster, and the process is over.

Moderate drinking

No matter where you drink, you should be self-aware, be cautious, try to keep your manners, and you are a gentleman until you get drunk.

First, drinking restrictions.

At any time, don't be competitive. Pretend to be chic, and you will be "drunk" when drinking. Drinking too much is not only easy to hurt your health, but also easy to make a fool of yourself. Make trouble. There is an old saying in our country that "wine hurts people" and "wine is a matchmaker", so don't forget to warn yourself when drinking.

This is necessary not only when you are happy, but also when you are in a bad mood. Never drown your sorrows in wine. As for intentional drinking, self-harm is even more inappropriate.

Before drinking, you should know your drinking capacity according to your past experience. No matter what happens, you must play to your level. At a formal banquet, you should especially take the initiative to limit your drinking capacity to less than half of your daily drinking capacity, so as not to get drunk and spoil the broth.

Second, refuse to drink according to the ceremony.

If you can't drink because of living habits or health reasons, you can refuse other people's suggestions in one of the following ways.

1, stating the objective reasons for not drinking.

2. Take the initiative to replace wine with other soft drinks.

3. Entrust relatives and friends, subordinates or younger generations to drink on their behalf.

When others pour their own wine, don't hide, push the bottle around, knock on the glass mouth, turn the glass upside down and secretly pour it out. It is also wrong to pour your own wine into other people's cups, especially if you drink a little wine.

Third, change customs

When drinking, don't forget the rules of self-discipline and respect for others. In particular, we should abandon the following bad habits that are harmful to people and ourselves.

1, don't get drunk. Very few people, when drinking, often "make people drunk", take the opportunity to make trouble, pretend to be crazy and talk nonsense. This practice is really boring.

Don't drink too much. Some people are addicted to alcohol. This is not only harmful to health, but also harmful to personal image.

3. Don't drink. Toast, toast, need mutual consent, don't force to persuade wine, say "deep feelings, a stuffy. Shallow feelings, a little. " You have to get people down and watch them laugh.

4. Don't punch. When drinking, some people like to guess, make a scene and grandstanding. Its practice is also disrespectful and should not be used in public places.
