< p > there are two ways to pour wine: tables and pours. The table means that the guest's wine cup is placed on the table, and the waiter puts the wine bottle into the cup. Under normal circumstances, the bottle mouth should be about 2 centimeters above the top of the cup. It is not advisable to stick the cup on the mouth of the bottle so as not to be harmful to health or noise. The method is to hold a bottle in one hand, hold the wine cup in one hand, stand on the right side of the guest, and pour wine into the cup gracefully and generously. < /p >

< p > the waiter should stand on the right side of each table when pouring wine, facing the guest, standing on the right foot before the left foot, standing in the "Ding" step, holding the lower part of the bottle and the back of the label with the right hand, and emphasizing that the correct sign of the wine must be exposed so that the drinkers can see the label. When you pour wine, you should stretch your arms as far as possible so as not to bend your elbow too much and affect the guests behind. < /p >

< p > when pouring wine, you should first pour some for the owner to taste, and then pour the wine for others after the host is satisfied. China's wine etiquette generally follows the international practice, but there is a difference in the order of service. In the family banquet, our country generally follows the order of the elders, the younger generation and the guests first. Internationally, women are in absolute leading position. The waiter first poured wine for the female guest, then poured all the wine to all the women in turn, then the male and the last owner. The owner can pour himself wine, but the order is still the same. The order of different wine pouring is also exquisite. For example, first of all, the wine with lighter quality will be followed by a heavier wine. First, dry wine, then sweet wine, first serve new wine, then old wine. < /p >

< p > pour wine into each guest cup within five minutes before the banquet begins. After drinking, you can invite guests to take seats. After the banquet starts, guests should be filled in time after the cheers are served. After every new dish, they need to be filled. However, when the guest is covering up the cup or covering the cup with his hand, it means that the guest does not want to drink. < /p >

< p > if it is a banquet, a toast usually means a toast to the guests before the banquet begins. Others usually finish their main course and start toasting when they start dessert. However, on informal occasions, the time to propose a toast can be determined by the person who toasts, and the toast can raise a glass at any time to express his wishes or congratulations to others. < /p >

< p > sitting on toast or standing up toast should be decided according to circumstances. If you propose a toast before the meal and in the living room, the toast can stand up and propose a toast. If there are fewer guests in the meal, the toast can sit toast, and if the guests are more, they should stand up and propose a toast so that the toast can hear the toast. At the same time, if you propose toast to newlyweds, leaders or elders, you must stand up and toast. < /p >

< p > according to traditional habits, the hostess or male host usually starts toasting, but this applies only to formal occasions. In informal occasions, such as friends gathering, guests are often the first toast, in order to express their gratitude to their hosts. It is worth noting that whoever drinks wine should ensure that there is wine in each glass. < /p >

< p > toast should be short and proper. At the banquet, the first toast should prepare a short speech, which can be used to recall the past, the stories or jokes related to the banquet, so long as the atmosphere of the banquet is acceptable. In general, humor in an active atmosphere is essential. If you find it difficult to say a toast, choosing a group toast will be a good choice. Several people raised their glasses together and shouted "cheers for X." not only relieves the complicated toast, but also makes the atmosphere more lively. < /p >

< p > when drinking, they usually touch each other, but the cup mouth is very thin and crisp, and the cup mouth is easy to break. Therefore, when toasting, the palm should be opposite, the cup mouth will be diverged, try to use a cup of belly to bump into each other, and look directly at the other side to show respect. < /p >

< p > it is especially noteworthy that many other countries are jealous of the Chinese rhetoric similar to "deep feelings". Therefore, in the toast, it is best not to ask others to drink a drink. When you drink wine, you can taste it slowly, because true wine has its story and local customs. It is a pity to swallow it. < /p >
