Toasting can be done at any time while drinking. At a formal banquet, the host usually proposes to the guests to drink for some reason.
There should be something to say when toasting, otherwise it will be very embarrassing just to toast. At a formal banquet, the host and guest of honor will solemnly deliver a special toast.
Wine table etiquette is as follows:
Cheers (clink glasses)
Cheers usually refers to a certain way when drinking, especially when toasting or toasting. A way to persuade others to drink, or to suggest that they drink at the same time as you. When making a toast, you often drink the wine in the glass, so it is called a toast. Sometimes, toasters also clink their glasses with each other, so it is also called clinking glasses.
After the host or others propose a toast, you should stand up with the wine glass in hand. Even if you don't drink alcohol, you still have to pick up a glass of water and pretend to be drunk. When you hold a wine glass and touch it with others, it should be lower than other people's wine glasses. This is a sign of respect.
When drinking, you should hold the wine glass to the height of your eyes, say "Cheers", and then drink all the wine in one gulp, or drink half of it, or an appropriate amount. Then, you need to hold the wine glass and look at the person who proposes a toast, and the process ends.
Don’t toast to multiple people. When you go to toast by yourself, don’t toast to multiple people. Only elders or leaders can do this, but several people can toast together.
