Toast etiquette

In many banquet occasions, we all need to toast, and toasting also has special etiquette. If you don't master it, it is easy to leave a bad impression on others. The following is a collection of toast etiquette for everyone. Welcome to read!

Toast etiquette: toast in general occasions.

1, pay attention to toast clockwise, and your own cup is lower than others'.

Your own glass is lower than others'. I believe everyone who has drunk wine knows this basic etiquette. In short, it means showing respect. The order of toasting, if you drink with leaders or elders, should start from leaders or elders, one after another, and ordinary friends will be more casual. If you are special, you should follow the clockwise direction.

2, pay attention to the order, such as leaders, elders toast each other, you can toast.

Pay special attention when leaders or elders are present, just as leaders or elders usually wait for the last dish before the younger generation begins to eat, so does toasting. We usually let leaders or elders drink with each other, and when they have finished drinking with each other, it is time for the younger generation to show filial piety. So now it's time for you to start a toast. Don't give a toast to the leaders or elders at the beginning, and give the leaders a fright as soon as they come up. Do it first, please feel free to lead? This is not desirable.

3. You can't have the privileges of leaders and elders.

Leading elders can respect many people with one person, but you can't. After all, leaders and elders are generally older than us in qualifications, age and experience. They have some privileges because they become our leaders and elders. The most basic thing to remember is that they can respect all of you alone, one to many, but not your descendants, so you can only respect each other. Unless you are promoted to leadership. So don't be smart. I propose a toast to everyone. Sounds good, but it's not desirable.

4, observe the words, help to add wine, and propose a toast at the right time.

It is very important and simple to see the four elephants and listen to all directions on the wine table. Add wine for them in time, especially when the glass is empty, and then pay attention to the order of adding wine, leading first. In addition, in addition to the standard toast process, you should also toast at an appropriate time, and don't have an embarrassing scene where no one wants to drink, then you are finished.

5, toast, toast must prepare the appropriate toast.

Besides drinking too much, it's also important to talk and make a good toast. The most successful toast is a novel toast that can talk about the hearts of leaders or elders and make them smile. Stop drinking, that's your behavior of drinking alone. If you don't have a large vocabulary, or your expressive ability is not very good, you should do your homework and simply recite a few common toasts before, so that you can improvise and avoid the embarrassing scene of raising a glass.

6. How to skillfully refuse others' toast is also quite learned.

There are usually three ways to refuse a toast: the first way is to ask for something non-alcoholic and explain why you don't drink it. The second method is to let the other person pour some wine in the cup in front of him, and then gently push the bottle away with his hand. According to etiquette, the wine in the cup can be dispensed with. The third method is that when the toaster pours wine into his cup, he taps the edge of the cup with his hand. What does this mean? I don't drink, thanks. ? When the host or friend warmly toasts himself, don't hide, let alone knock over the glass, or quietly pour the toast of others on the ground.

Toast should be enough, as long as it is sincere. Don't deliberately get others drunk, and don't secretly pour spirits into other people's soft drinks. For devout Muslims, toasting or even drinking is not allowed. Because it is against religious regulations for Muslims to drink alcohol. You shouldn't put many wine bottles on the dining table. At a formal banquet, all the hosts will propose a toast, and those who can drink will also have a drink in return.

Six principles of toast etiquette

1, it's their turn to propose a toast after the elders and superiors have finished drinking each other. When toasting, you must stand up and raise your glass with both hands.

2. Many people can respect one person, but one person must not respect many people.

3, respect others, if you don't touch the cup, how much to drink depends on the situation.

4. Pick up the glass (beer glass), hold the glass in your right hand and put the bottom of the glass in your left hand. Remember that your cup is always lower than others.

5, if there is no special person present, it is best to touch the wine in chronological order, don't favor one over the other.

6, clink glasses, toast, have words, don't be silent.

Don't just drink for the leader, that is, drink for the leader, and pretend that you want to drink, because you want to drink instead of for the leader. For example, leader A can't drink enough. Beating around the bush can stop people who want to worship leader A.

Toast etiquette in western food

First, how to hold the glass

The glass for white wine and champagne is a goblet. Hold the bottom of the cup when drinking, and don't touch the cup body, because white wine and champagne are usually frozen when drinking, and the temperature of the hand will make it warm. When toasting, you can firmly hold the bottom of the cup foot with your thumb, ring finger and little finger, hold the cup foot with your middle finger, and gently place your forefinger at the joint between the cup foot and the glass. Keep your fingers as straight as possible to show the graceful curves of your hands.

The glass for holding red wine has short legs and a big body. You can hold a corner of the glass with your forefinger and middle finger and hold it close to your body when drinking. The temperature of your hand will help the red wine release its fragrance.

When toasting and clinking glasses, when your cup ratio is lower than the general plan, show respect for each other.

When drinking, never inhale, but tilt the glass, just like putting the wine on your tongue. Shake the glass gently and let the wine come into contact with the air to enhance the mellow taste of the wine, but don't shake the glass violently. There should be a small amount left at the bottom of the cup. Don't drink it all at once.

Second, the etiquette of pouring wine.

When you pour wine, you must never hold the glass in your hand, mainly to prevent it from knocking down the bottle.

When pouring wine on formal occasions, beer and wine are not allowed to hold glasses. But when you are relaxed, you can pour the beer on your hand, but you should pay attention to holding the bottle in your right hand, holding the cup in your left hand and tilting your right hand to look good. In addition, pay attention to the beer foam to be flush with the cup mouth, and there can be no overflow.

According to the regulations, except the host and the service staff, other guests are generally not allowed to pour wine for others themselves. If the host pours the wine himself, he should pour it with the best wine at this party. Guests should raise their glasses to express their thanks and stand up if necessary.

If it is a large business meal, it should be served by the service staff. Generally, you should pour the wine from the person with the highest position and then pour it clockwise. If you don't need wine, you can put your hand on the glass and say? No, thank you? Do it. At this time, there is no need for the sommelier to ask for wine again and again.

Third, the toast behavior requirements

On more formal occasions, drinking is quite particular about specific procedures. Among the common drinking procedures, pouring wine, toasting and toasting are the most widely used.

Pour wine usually, drinks should be poured into cups before drinking. Except the host and waiter, other guests are not allowed to pour wine for others by themselves. Waiters should thank you when pouring wine. If the host pours the wine himself, the guest should raise his glass to express his thanks. If necessary, they need to stand up and the lady will bow and nod.

Toast. Toast is also called toast. It is often an indispensable program at banquets. When making a toast, the host usually makes a toast. When others make a toast or make a speech, all the people present should stop eating and drinking.

Cheers. Cheers. Someone needs to take the lead in proposing marriage. The proposer should stand up, holding the glass in his right hand or the bottom of the glass in his left hand, smiling and sincerely facing others. After the host toasts, even if he doesn't touch the wine, he should get up, pick up the glass and pretend to show respect to the host.

Four. Precautions for baking bread

1. In wine service, the waiter is usually responsible for pouring a small amount of wine into the glass, so that the guests can tell whether there is any quality problem. Consider it a formality. Take a sip. Good answer. Then, the waiter will come and pour the wine. Don't start taking the cup at this time, but put it on the table for the waiter to pour.

Never drink when drinking, but tilt the glass, just like putting wine on your tongue. Shake the glass gently and let the wine come into contact with the air to enhance the mellow taste of the wine, but don't shake the glass violently.

In addition, it's impolite to drink in one breath, look at people through the glass when drinking, drink with the glass, drink while eating, and print lipstick on the edge of the glass. Don't wipe the lipstick mark on the rim of the cup with your fingers. You'd better wipe it with a paper towel.

At a formal western banquet, drinks are the main characters. The collocation of wine and vegetables is also very strict. Generally speaking, when eating western food, each different dish must be accompanied by a different drink, and when eating a dish, it must be replaced by a drink.

The drinks served at western banquet can be divided into three kinds: pre-dinner wine, table wine and after-dinner wine. They each have many specific types. An aperitif is called an aperitif. Obviously, it is drunk before a formal meal or accompanied by an appetizer. Cocktails, absinthe and champagne are served before dinner. Table wine is also called table wine. This is a drink for a formal meal. Commonly used table wine is wine, mostly dry wine or semi-dry wine. There is an important stress, that is? White wine with white meat and red wine with red meat? .

6. Different glasses drink different drinks. In front of each diner, there will be three or four wine glasses on the table above the knife on the right. Can be used from the outside to the inside in turn, or? Follow closely? The hostess's choice. Generally, champagne glasses, red wine glasses, white wine glasses and water cups are indispensable.

7. Drink only half of champagne. Pay attention to drinking only champagne when toasting western food. Never make up for it with beer or other wine. When drinking champagne, it is advisable to drink half of the wine in the glass, and of course, you should do what you can.

8. Only toast without clinking glasses, and one more thing to note: when toasting at a western banquet, people only toast without persuading, but only toast without clinking glasses. When using glasses, especially don't touch them.

9. You can't leave your seat to make a toast. At a western-style banquet, it is not allowed to walk off the seat casually, cross other people's bodies and propose a toast to people far away, especially a cross toast.

10. Moderate alcohol consumption. No matter where you drink, you should be self-aware, cautious, keep your manners and observe etiquette.

1 1. Champagne is the only way to propose a toast in western food. You can't pass by people around you and propose a toast with others.

12. When eating western food, you can't refuse the toast of the other party. Even if you can't drink, raise your glass in return, otherwise it's impolite. Eating western food and drinking alcohol is forbidden to raise a glass and drink it off. Elegant drinking means knowing how to taste the color, fragrance and taste of wine. At western-style banquets, it is often a toast rather than a toast, and even a toast is only a matter of time.

Toast Etiquette The toast etiquette of the couple at the wedding.

Dress for the new toast.

The bride usually chooses a dress or cheongsam as her toast. Cheongsam has strong China characteristics, which can perfectly show the bride's good figure and reflect the elegant beauty of oriental women. It is recommended to choose a slim dress, not a fluffy skirt, and beware of revealing your chest.

The bride must wear high heels when toasting, because only high heels can set off her temperament and make her more confident. Be careful not to sprain or fall on your clothes because of too many people, high heels and dragging skirts.

Preparation of wedding wine

Liquor:

If you pour water, you can first pour out most of the wine in the bottle and leave a height of about 3 cm in the bottle. Remember not to leave it empty. If there is no smell of alcohol, it will be easy to wear. Then use clean water instead of tap water. Tap water will have small bubbles, which is not wine at first glance. It should be filled with boiled water or pure water and mineral water. If you think white water is easy to wear, you can deflate it with Sprite instead of white wine. Remember to play it the night before.

Red wine:

Buy black grape juice and pour it into an empty red wine bottle. Two more bottles? Special wine? In case it is not enough; Don't let anyone touch it except the best man and maid of honor? Special wine? ; The most important thing is to pretend it tastes bad when drinking.

Toast skills, moderate drinking

In the absence of drinks or other substitutes, the main table and the elders' table should drink as little as possible, because the elders basically don't fill their children with drinks and leave their stomachs to the young people's tables to drink, because the young people will not let the newcomers go. If the groom feels really drunk after drinking again, don't worry about his face and don't drink, because it is very bad for the groom to get drunk at the wedding reception. After the wedding reception, the groom still needs to do a lot of things.

Toast skills, timing

At the beginning of the wedding banquet, the bride and groom should arrange a toast in time according to the number of banquet tables. If there are more tables, the time for toasting, lighting cigarettes and peeling sugar at each table should be shortened accordingly. You can tighten it first and then loosen it. If you fully respect it, some tables can toast again and communicate again. Be sure not to loosen first and then tighten. The first few tables have been respected for a long time, and the guests at the next table may have eaten almost enough and are in a hurry to leave. Let the camera follow the prison, set up the machine, take out the cavity, and then tell the guests that we all raise our glasses and leave this precious lens. Please ask our cameraman to record the moment when everyone raises a glass to congratulate the couple, and invite the whole table to stand up on the grounds of this lens. Most people are embarrassed to refuse. If the picture is good, please take a seat, and the couple will leave.

Toast skills, best man, bridesmaid, clear division of labor

The groomsman and bridesmaid are the best assistants at the scene, which not only enlivens the atmosphere but also protects the bride and groom from the wind and rain. If there are many wedding tables, you can arrange more groomsmen and bridesmaids in advance. In the toasting session, the bride and groom should first respect their elders, and the best man and bridesmaid are responsible for taking care of their close friends and letting time flow unconsciously. Pay attention to the choice of the best man and bridesmaid. The best man and bridesmaid can be provoked by people who are familiar with the bride and groom's friends. The best man and bridesmaid should be steady and generous, and they should not get drunk and behave in a rude manner at the scene, which will ruin the atmosphere of the whole wedding.

In addition, when rehearsing the wedding banquet with the best man and bridesmaid in advance, remember to define the division of labor and match it reasonably to save time to the maximum extent. For example, at least one groomsman is responsible for pouring wine, one is responsible for sending wine greetings, the other is responsible for blocking wine, and the bridesmaid is responsible for sending cigarettes, peeling sugar and sending and receiving red envelopes. When the newlyweds come to the guests, the best man and the bridesmaid prepare everything early, quickly and politely. It would be more perfect if a bridesmaid could be arranged to quietly remind the couple of the name and identity of each guest with a guest card.

Toast skills enliven the atmosphere.

On-site activities are usually arranged at wedding banquets, but they are mainly used to transition the time for the bride and groom to rest, change clothes and make up. In fact, in the toasting session, in order to avoid the helpless waiting of the guests, you can also arrange some on-site activities appropriately, which not only enlivens the atmosphere but also diverts attention, and at the same time, some exquisite rewards also make the guests feel very happy that you are here. If there are many tables for newcomers, many guests will leave after the newcomers worship the tables. Often before the toast is over, the number of guests is half, which is embarrassing. If the arranged on-site activities are interesting and fun, the full occupancy rate can be well maintained. The content of live activities can be combined with purely ornamental performances, as well as easily interactive lottery, quiz, competition and other programs.

Common sense of wedding toast etiquette and matters needing attention

First, it can't expand.

Remember not to drink blindly as soon as you get on the wine table. At first you may think you can still drink, but you are not drunk. But remember, that's because you haven't drunk enough. You'll know how drunk you are later. Drink slowly.

Second, many people respect one person, and no one has ever respected many people.

When toasting, you should pay attention to that many people can respect one person, but never respect many people by one person.

Third, the balance of alcohol consumption.

Respect others. If you don't clink glasses, how much you drink depends on the situation, such as the amount of alcohol and the attitude of the other party. Never drink less than the other person. You know, you respect others yourself.

Fourth, the gesture of toasting

Pick up the glass, pinch it with your right hand, and pad the bottom of the glass with your left hand. Remember that your cup is always lower than others. If you are an elder or leader, don't set yourself too low, otherwise how can you be the next person?

5. Make a toast with something to say.

Don't be silly. Toast everywhere. Maybe you drank too much and didn't leave any impression in the end. If you say something pleasant or wish you good luck in your toast, you may leave a better impression.

Six, wine should be improvisation:

If there is not enough wine, put the bottle in the middle of the table and let others fill it. Don't pour the wine one by one, or it will be bad if there is no wine for others in the back.

Seven, drinking words and deeds

Be careful not to lose your manners after drinking, don't talk big, don't lose your manners, don't spit everywhere, don't throw chopsticks, don't point indiscriminately, drink soup, and be sure to pay attention to your words and deeds. If you are really drunk, you can go outside and have a blow to wake up.
