Food characteristics:
Tibetan highland barley wine is brewed directly from highland barley with low degree. Tibetans, regardless of gender, age and age, like to drink, which is a must for festivals. Tibetan people have rich drinking customs. Every time a new wine is brewed, it is necessary to offer sacrifices to the gods with the "new wine" first, and then propose a toast to the elders in the family according to the old saying of "orderly aging" before the whole family can enjoy it.
At a holiday wedding or a gathering of many people, drinking usually means toasting the respected elders first, and then toasting clockwise in turn. Generally speaking, the toaster should raise his glass above his head with both hands and propose a toast to the recipient, especially the elderly.
The drinker first holds the glass with both hands, then holds it with his left hand, then gently dips the wine in the glass with the ring finger of his right hand and plays in the air. Repeated three times, it shows the worship of heaven, earth and God and the prayer for Buddha and its three treasures. Sometimes, he even reads auspicious wishes in his mouth and then drinks.
