There are many and complex varieties of wine, as well as food. How to match these two changing elements to achieve the effect of "complementing each other" requires constant exploration and discovery. The current general principle is "red wine with red meat, white wine with white meat", but this is not strictly speaking, it depends on the specific situation.

Generally speaking, red wine has a richer taste and high astringency, and is suitable for red meats (such as beef, pork, mutton) and dairy products with stronger flavors. The tannins in red wine combine with protein to soften the tannins and make the meat more tender. White meat with a lighter taste (such as chicken and seafood) is suitable for a lighter-tasting white wine, because the acidity in the white wine can remove the fishy smell and make the taste refreshing. But in many cases, the cooking method and ingredients change the original personality of the ingredients, thus changing the wine pairing principles. For example, grilled seafood with sauce or spicy white meat and Shiraz red wine are more suitable. Pairing, it can be seen that what kind of wine to pair with depends more on the taste of the food after cooking rather than the original taste of the ingredients.

Pairings with contrasting flavors can use some of the competing flavors to match dishes and complement each other. For example, salty and spicy dishes should be paired with lighter red wine or sweet white wine, while curry dishes can be paired with light and fragrant white wine.

Generally speaking, desserts, fruits, vegetables, and salads (especially salads with vinegar) are not harmonious with the sour taste of red wine. ?

1. Everyone is having fun together and avoid whispering?

Most banquets have more guests. Therefore, we should try our best to talk about topics that most people can participate in and gain the approval of most people. Because individuals have different interests, hobbies, and knowledge, the topic should not be too biased, so as to avoid being self-centered, talking about everything, going off-topic, and ignoring everyone else. In particular, try not to whisper to others in a low voice, giving others a sense of mystery, which often leads to jealousy of "just you two" and affects the effect of drinking. ?2. Target the guests and hosts and grasp the overall situation?

Most banquets have a theme, which is the purpose of drinking. When attending a banquet, you should first look around at everyone's expressions and distinguish priorities. Don't drink just for the sake of drinking and lose a good opportunity to make friends. Don't let some grandstanding drunks disturb the host. ?3. Appropriate language and humor?

The dishes on the table can show a person's talent, common sense, cultivation and communicative grace. Sometimes a witty and humorous language will leave a deep impression on the guests. , making people feel good about you invisibly. Therefore, you should know when to say what, the right language, and humor are key. ?4. Persuading people to drink in moderation and not forcing them?

People often encounter the phenomenon of persuading people to drink at the wine table. Some people always like to treat the wine shop as a battlefield and try their best to persuade others to drink a few more drinks, thinking that they should not drink. It's unrealistic when it comes to quantity. "A hero is judged by drinking", it is okay for people who drink a lot, but it is difficult for people who drink a little. Sometimes excessive persuasion to drink will completely destroy the original relationship between friends. ?5. Toast in an orderly manner with clear priorities ?

Toasting is also a science. Under normal circumstances, toasts should be made in order of age, position, and identity of guest and host. Before toasting, you must fully consider the order of toasts and distinguish priorities. Even if you drink with someone you are not familiar with, you should first inquire about their identity or pay attention to how others address you. This should be known to avoid embarrassing or hurtful feelings.

?

When toasting, you must grasp the order of toasting. When you have a request for a guest at the table, you should naturally be more respectful to him. However, be aware that if there is a higher-status or older person present, you should not only be respectful to the person who can help you, but also be respectful first. Give a toast to the venerable elders, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed. ?

6. Observe words and colors and understand people’s hearts. ?

If you want to get everyone’s appreciation at the wine table, you must learn to watch words and colors. Because to communicate with people, you need to understand people's hearts and play both sides of the situation, so that you can play your role well at the wine table. ?7. Be sharp and steady?

At a banquet, you should see the occasion clearly, correctly evaluate your own strength, don't be too impulsive, try to retain some drinking power and sense of speech, and do not let others underestimate you. Look at yourself and don't reveal yourself too much, choose appropriate opportunities, and gradually radiate your edge, so that you can sit firmly on the mountain and avoid giving others the idea of ????"just this ability", so that people dare not underestimate your strength. 4. Pay attention to details ?1. Seating arrangement ?

Generally speaking, the seating arrangement is "to the left and to the east" and "to face the door is to respect". If it is a round table, the one facing the door is the host and guest, and the positions to the left and right of the host and guest are based on the distance from the host and guest. The closer the host and guest are, the more respect they have. At the same distance, the left side is more respected than the right side. If it is the Eight Immortals table, if there are seats facing the door, the right seat on the side facing the door will be the host and guest. If it is not facing the gate, the right seat on the side facing east is the chief. ?

If it is a big banquet, the arrangement between the tables should be such that the chief guest is in the front and center, with seats 2, 4, and 6 on the left, and seats 3, 5, and 7 on the right. Sit separately. ?

If you are the host, you should arrive early, wait at the door and lead the guests to their seats. If you are an invitee, you should follow the host's seating arrangements. ?

Generally speaking, if your boss is present, you should lead the boss to the main seat and ask the highest-ranking customer to sit on the left side of the main seat. Unless the leadership level of the person you are entertaining this time is very high. 2. Ordering?

If time permits, you should wait until most of the guests have arrived, then circulate the menu to the guests and ask them to order. Of course, as a business banquet, you will worry about the budget. Therefore, to control the budget, the most important thing is to do more homework before the meal. It is more important to choose a suitable banquet venue, so that the guests can also fully understand your intention. Budget. Moreover, generally speaking, if you pay the bill and the guests are too embarrassed to order, they will let you make the decision. If your boss is also at the banquet, never let him/her order food because you respect him or think that he has rich social experience and eats a lot at the banquet, unless he/she takes the initiative. Otherwise, he will feel unworthy. ?

If you are a dinner party, you should know that you should not be too proactive when ordering food, but let the host take the order. If the other party asks kindly, you can order a dish that is not too expensive and not everyone's taboo. Remember to ask the opinions of people at the table, especially asking "Is there anything you don't eat?" or "What do you prefer to eat?" to make everyone feel taken care of. After ordering, you can ask for instructions, "I've ordered something, but I don't know if it suits everyone's taste," "Do you want anything else," etc. ?

When ordering, you must know what to expect. When ordering, you can follow the following four rules?

(1) Look at the personnel composition. Generally speaking, one dish per person is a more general rule. If it is a dinner party with more men, the amount can be increased appropriately. ?

(2) Look at the combination of dishes. Generally speaking, it is best to have meat and vegetables, cold and hot dishes on a table, and try to be as comprehensive as possible. If there are many men at the table, you can order more meat dishes; if there are more women, you can order more light vegetable dishes. ?

(3) Depend on the importance of the banquet. For an ordinary business banquet, the average price of a dish is about 50 yuan to 80 yuan, which is acceptable. If the banquet is for a relatively important person, then order a few dishes of sufficient portions, such as lobster, saury, anchovies, and a larger size, such as abalone, fin powder, etc.

?

(4) Another thing to note is that when ordering, you should not ask the waiter for the price of the dishes or bargain. This will make your company look a bit petty in front of customers, and customers will also Feel uncomfortable. ?
