I used to work in catering services in a five-star hotel. Our hotel’s training at that time taught us that serving food, pouring wine, and pouring tea should all be done from the left side of the guest. Please inform the customer before operating.

When pouring tea, hold the thermos bottle in your right hand, hold the teacup lid with your little finger and ring finger of your left hand, then pick up the handle of the teacup with your thumb and index finger, lift the cup behind the guest and pour the tea. Consider that if you pour boiling water without picking up the cup, you will burn your guests. Don't fill up the water, as the saying goes, tea is too full to deceive (make) people.

When pouring wine, you don’t need to hold a cup.

1. Beer: The trademark is facing the guest, so that the guest can see that the waiter has brought the drink he ordered correctly. Place the mouth of the beer bottle against the inner wall of the wine glass, press down gently to tilt one side of the glass, and then pour the wine slowly. Because the beer is poured too hard, it will produce a lot of bubbles and even overflow the glass. In this way, pour the wine slowly along the inside of the glass to avoid bubbles in the beer.

2. Red wine: The trademark is for guests. Hold the wine bottle in your right hand, and a clean tablecloth or small white towel in your left hand (you should have them when dining). The red wine is also poured slowly, which is purely etiquette. The red wine should not be filled too full, only two-thirds is enough. When you are about to finish pouring the glass, slowly lift the wine bottle and rotate it half a turn while standing upright, so as to prevent the remaining red wine from dripping from the mouth of the bottle and staining the tablecloth or guests' clothes. Quickly take the bottle back behind the guest and wipe the mouth of the bottle with a napkin or small towel. So that it doesn't drip when pouring the wine for the next guest.

3. Liquor: The trademark is for guests. Just move slowly when pouring, nothing else to pay special attention to.
