What is the essence of Chinese wine culture?

the essence is hierarchical order. The culture of toasting and persuading wine is constantly determining its own identity and position, and the superior persuading the subordinate is not only exerting authority. Not drinking at a lower level is a challenge to authority. This kind of disobedience will make those at a higher level feel out of control and "lose face". A toast from a subordinate to a superior is to confirm his subordinate status. Generally, it takes two more cups to show that the other party has a higher status than himself, while the superior can reciprocate without returning.
