What are the precautions at the dinner table?

First, pay attention to the order of sitting down.

Under normal circumstances, according to international etiquette standards and China traditional requirements, the position facing the door on the wine table is the main seat, and the host should sit down. However, if the host is young and junior, and the status of the guest of honor is relatively high, and the host wants to highlight the status of the guest of honor, the guest of honor can also be seated.

Generally speaking, starting from the theme, it should be the guest of honor on the right and the deputy guest of honor on the left; On the right is the main guard, on the left is the deputy main guard ... and so on, interspersed. The position directly opposite to the theme should generally be the youngest or lowest-ranking person at this table, and the hostess when the male and female hosts are present at the same time.

Second, we should pay attention to principles when opening a cup.

Usually, the first three cups at the beginning of the wine bureau should be mentioned by the host first. As the saying goes, "three drinks will make you look good." The host hasn't finished three glasses of wine, so it's taboo for others to mention wine without authorization.

Third, pay attention to the order of toasting.

After the host opens a cup, the host usually starts to propose a toast, and then, according to the order of age or position, raises the wine. Under normal circumstances, the host and the guest can only return the gift after the host and the deputy host have finished a round of worship.

In the process of toasting, the guest of honor should be toasted first, and then toasted in the order of age or position. When the host and guests propose a toast, they should start with the host and then respond in order of age or position. When making a single toast, we should pay attention to "it is better to lag behind one group than one person".

Fourth, the speech should focus on the center.

Anyone who makes a toast should firmly focus on the center of the wine bureau, that is, the central idea of the host to arrange this wine bureau. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone naturally chats and respects each other. However, no matter how you propose a toast or chat, the topic should be as close to the theme as possible. Even if you occasionally deviate from the theme, you should pull the topic back to the center of this wine bureau before and after the toast to avoid endless talk about "Dong parents and Li family". This article conforms to the prose's emphasis on "form is scattered but spirit is not scattered."

5. Pay attention to moderation in toasting.

When the host treats you, he naturally hopes that the guests and friends will drink well, and he also hopes to accompany his friends to drink well. However, the reality is that people's natural conditions are different, and their alcohol consumption is also different. Therefore, we should pay attention to moderation in toasting each other and not urge each other to drink more. In particular, men respect women, subordinates respect their superiors, and younger generations respect their elders. More importantly, they should adhere to the principle of drinking more and being casual with each other. For people of the same age, we should also adhere to the principle of moderation, because only people can't force each other to drink too much.

However, in the wine field, there are often people who obviously like to drink and have a lot of alcohol, but they always end up in a wine rack, and they don't start pouring, and they don't drink well. When meeting such people, the host, the host's companion and the deputy host's companion should skillfully add words and sentences and use skills to induce them to take the initiative to drink.

Sixth, performance should take care of the majority.

In any wine bureau, everyone should have sufficient opportunities to show off. As far as opportunities are concerned, they should be equal. However, people's ability is different, so is their language expression ability. In this way, people who are heavy drinkers and can talk should take care of others properly, don't seize all topics and all opportunities to talk, and also encourage and create opportunities for others to talk and behave appropriately.

Seven, drinking control progress.

At the beginning, people were generally shy and unwilling to let go. However, with more and more alcohol, the role of alcohol is increasing, and people tend to become more and more active. "Every friend has thousands of cups." At a certain time, the progress of wine is often difficult to grasp, and the owner of the car owner is often embarrassed to take the initiative to "stop". At this point, the host and guests should give prompt in time, prepare staple food or prompt the host to accept the cup. After all, under normal circumstances, getting drunk is not the purpose of the host's invitation to drink.

Eight, the end of a banquet should pay attention to etiquette.

Under normal circumstances, all the participants in the wine bureau should end the banquet together. If it is really necessary to leave the meeting in advance under special circumstances, you should first obtain the consent of the host and explain it to the guest of honor. Then you don't have to say goodbye to everyone, so as not to affect the atmosphere of the whole wine bureau.

At the end of the banquet, all guests, including friends who accompany them, should thank the host. The host would also like to thank the guests present, smile, sincerely shake hands with all the guests, send them to the car, and see everyone leave, thus drawing a perfect ending for the wine bureau.
