1. What is the order of pouring wine?
When serving wine for the first time, as the host, you can pour wine for all the guests yourself, but remember, do it in a counter-clockwise direction , starting with the guest sitting on the left, and finally it’s the host’s turn.
After the guest has finished a drink, you can ask the person sitting opposite you to help refill the drinks for the people near him. If you have both red wine and white wine, place the bottles at opposite ends of the table.
If there is a leader present, it is best to start pouring wine from the leadership position and then pour the wine one by one in a counter-clockwise direction. If there are many leaders and they are not sitting in the same position, if you are not sure how to pour the wine, don’t show off on your own. If you are treating a guest, just ask the hotel waitress to pour the wine. This is not disrespectful and can show your dignity. Your own identity.
2. Is there anything to say about pouring wine?
It is basic common sense to pour wine to the fullest, but if you want to be a wine commander, you have to pay special attention to pouring wine.
1. You have to have the best alcohol capacity, so you have to drink 3 glasses (beer-sized glasses) in a row without pouring;
2. They are all filled, and the whole table is not allowed to clink glasses. There are always empty glasses, otherwise the wine commander will be punished.
Toasts are also very important.
Respect the elders: After standing up with your legs together and holding a glass in both hands, bring the wine glass forward, with the rim lower than the elder’s wine glass.
Respect your peers: After standing up with a glass in both hands, hold the glass in front of the other person. The rim of the glass should be basically flush with the other person, or slightly lower.
Respect the juniors: Hold the glass with one hand, send the wine glass in front of you, clink the glasses and then toast, this will flatter the juniors.
Hope this helps.
3. Some issues about pouring wine
I used to work in catering service in a five-star hotel. At that time, our hotel trained us to serve food, pour wine, and pour wine. Tea is served from the guest's left. 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 faces the customer, so that the customer 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 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.
4. Pour wine. What are the etiquette for toasting?
Different places have different etiquette! As far as we are concerned, drinking with leaders → 1. We need to distinguish the priorities between leaders. The main leader should toast frequently, the secondary leader should toast more, colleagues can toast two, and those who have a distant relationship can toast two more. ! The order of toasting must be the leader first, then colleagues in order of seating. Never ignore someone in the middle! 2. When toasting to the leader, you should stand up. When you clink glasses, the glass must be lower than the leader's. You can only finish the drink after the leader has finished drinking. You can only sit down when the leader sits down! This can also be done among colleagues! 3. Generally, you should wait until the second glass of liquor is finished before pouring it. It is best not to add wine in the middle.
When pouring, use both hands, preferably 2/3 or 1/3, and be careful not to spill it! (Actually, there are many, and I can’t explain them all at the moment. The main thing is to observe more and learn more).
5. The emphasis on toasting and pouring wine mainly talks about which hand should be used when pouring wine
Toasting is also a toast, which means that at a formal banquet, the male host proposes to Guests suggest drinking alcohol for a certain reason.
When drinking, it is usually necessary to say some blessings and blessings, and even the host and guest of honor will give a special toast. The shorter the toast, the better.
Toasting can be done at any time while drinking. If a formal toast is given, it should be given at a specific time and should not affect the guests' meal.
The toast is suitable to start after the guests and hosts are seated and before the meal. It can also be done after the main course and before dessert is served.
When drinking, especially toasting, someone needs to take the lead in making a toast. It can be the host, the guest of honor, or someone present. When proposing a toast, you should stand up and hold the wine glass with your right hand, or after picking up the wine glass with your right hand, hold the bottom of the glass with your left hand, smile, look at other toast recipients, especially yourself, and say blessings at the same time. .
Some people suggest that after toasting, you should stand up with a wine glass in hand. Even if you don't drink alcohol, you still have to pick up a glass and show off.
Raise the wine glass to eye level, and after saying "cheers", drink the wine in one gulp or drink an appropriate amount. Then, you have to hold the wine glass and look at the proposer, and the process is over.
During Chinese meals, before toasting, you can symbolically clink your glasses with the other person; when clinking glasses, you should keep your glass lower than the other person’s to show your respect for the other person. Touching the bottom of a wine glass lightly to the table can also mean clinking glasses with the other person.
When you are far away from the other party, you can use this method to do the work for you. If the host makes a toast in person, ask him to return the toast and drink another drink with him.
Under normal circumstances, toasts should be given in order of age, position, and status of guest and host. Be sure to fully consider the order of toasts and distinguish priorities. Even if you are drinking with someone you are not familiar with, you should first inquire about his identity or pay attention to the names he is given by others to avoid embarrassment or hurt feelings.
Even if you want something from a guest at the table, you should be more respectful to him. However, if there are higher-status or older people present, the toast should be given to the elder first, otherwise it will make everyone embarrassed.
If you are not suitable for drinking due to living habits or health reasons, you can also entrust relatives, friends, subordinates, juniors to drink on your behalf, or use drinks or tea instead. As a toaster, you should be fully considerate of the other party. When the other party asks someone to drink instead of drinking or using a drink instead, you should not insist on letting the other party drink, nor should you curiously "break the casserole and ask for the end".
You must know that if someone does not take the initiative to explain the reason, it means that the other person thinks this is his privacy. In Western food, only champagne is used for toasts, and you cannot toast with other people over the people around you.
1. How to pour wine. You need to pour wine before toasting. According to regulations, except for the host and service staff, other guests are generally not allowed to pour wine for others by themselves.
If the host pours the wine himself, he should use the best wine at the banquet. The guests should pick up the wine glasses to express their thanks and stand up when necessary. If it is a large-scale business meal, the service staff should serve the wine.
When pouring wine, one should generally start with the person in the highest position and then proceed clockwise. If you don't need the wine, you can put your hand on the glass and say "No, thank you".
At this time, the sommelier does not have to ask for refills again and again. During Chinese food, when someone is pouring wine, you can also "knock your fingers" in return.
Especially when your status is higher than that of your master. That is, pinch the thumb, index finger, and middle finger of the right hand together, with the fingertips pointing downward, and tap the table several times to express gratitude for the pourer.
How much wine should I pour? Liquor and beer can be filled to the top, but other foreign wines do not need to be filled.
2. When to toast? Toasts should be held at a specific time, with the primary consideration not to disrupt the guests' meal.
Toasts are divided into formal toasts and ordinary toasts. Formal toasts can usually be made after the guests and hosts are seated and before the meal. The host usually does the toasts, and at the same time, standard wine words must be said.
As for the ordinary toast, it can start as long as it is after the formal toast. But be careful to do it when it is convenient for the other party. For example, he is not toasting with other people and is not chewing in his mouth, thinking that the other party may be willing to accept your toast.
Moreover, if you are toasting to the same person, you should wait until someone with a higher status than yourself has done so before doing so. 3. The order of toasting. What is the order of toasting? Under normal circumstances, the order should be based on age, position, and identity of guest and host. Before toasting, you must fully consider the order of toasts and distinguish priorities to avoid embarrassing situations.
Even if you can’t tell the difference or your position or status is unclear, you should toast in the same order. For example, start toasting from your side in a clockwise direction, or from left to right, or from right to Toasts and so on are carried out on the left. 4. Toast behavior requirements Toasts are divided into formal toasts and ordinary toasts.
A formal toast means that at the beginning of the banquet, the host first toasts to everyone collectively and says a standard toast at the same time. The content of this kind of toast can be a little longer, but it can be finished within five minutes.
Whether it is the host or the guest, if you are toasting to the group at your seat, you are required to stand up first, smile, hold the wine glass in your hand, and face everyone. When the host proposes a toast to the group, everyone should stop eating or drinking.
When the host proposes a toast, everyone should stand up and clink their glasses with each other. According to international practice, toasting does not necessarily require drinking it dry.
But even people who don’t usually drink alcohol should pick up the wine glass and take a sip to show respect for the host. In addition to the host toasting to the group, guests can also toast to the group.
The guest's toast can be shorter, even one or two sentences. For example: "Everyone, let's toast to our happy cooperation in the future!" Ordinary toasts usually involve more etiquette standards.
Ordinary toasting means that after the host makes a formal toast, each guest and the host or between the guests can toast each other and say one or two simple toasts or words of encouragement. When someone toasts to you, you should raise the glass to eye level, and drink after the other person says a toast or "cheers".
After drinking, you have to hold the wine glass and look at each other before the process is over. For our country, special attention should be paid when toasting.
When making a toast, both the one giving the toast and the one receiving the toast should pay attention to adapting to local conditions and doing as the local customs do. Most of our regions, especially the Northeast, Inner Mongolia and other north.
