Is it correct to pour wine when drinking?

Seeing this title, it is estimated that many friends will laugh at me.

"Mr. Zheng, you are making a mountain out of a molehill. Who can't pour wine? Are you still right or wrong? "

Don't worry, don't jump to conclusions yet.

Listen to me slowly.

In domestic high-end western restaurants, or European and American countries, wine bottles and decanters are generally not placed on the wine table, but on the table next to them.

When the glass is empty and needs to be poured, according to western table manners, you can't get the wine bottle or decanter yourself and pour it for others or yourself.

Pouring should be done by waiters or sommeliers, not by themselves. If the waiter is too far away to hear, you can wave your hand and ask the waiter to pour the wine.

However, this is a foreign country and a western restaurant that pays great attention to etiquette. Usually, when we eat Chinese food, we don't have to do this.

In China, most business banquets and friends' dinners will put wine bottles, decanters and decanters on the dining table.

Some waiters with better service will take the initiative to pour your wine.

Usually, we pour our own wine.

Especially the host of the host's treat, but also to stare at the whole process. The glass in front of the leader is empty. Fill it in time. The glass in front of a woman is empty, so it should be emptied in time.

On the wine table, the glass in front of you is empty, which is impolite and the responsibility of the host to take care of the guests.

Of course, as a guest, if you see the glass in front of the people around you is empty, you should also help pour it. This is not only considerate, but also a kind of respect, which means "I respect you and I'll pour you wine".

Next, Mr. Zheng, let me talk about the correct way to pour wine.

Pour someone wine with a bottle, and put the wine label up, as shown above, so that others can see what wine you pour.

There are three ways to hold the bottle when pouring wine:

One is to hold the middle and lower part of the bottle with one hand and pour the wine, as shown above.

One is that the palm of one hand grabs the bottom of the bottle like an octopus and pours the wine, as shown above.

In another way, one hand sticks his thumb into the depression of the bottom of the bottle and presses the bottom of the bottle, while the other finger holds the bottom of the bottle and pours the wine, as shown in the above figure.

However, I also know that many women have weak arms and can't hold the bottle with one hand. They can also pour wine with both hands, with one hand at the bottle neck and the other hand holding the bottom of the bottle, as shown above.

It is really difficult to pour wine with one hand, such as champagne, Burgundy black Pi Nuo and heavy bottles. At this time, it is no problem for a man to pour wine with both hands, and one hand does not need to be cold.

When pouring wine, the bottle mouth of the wine should be above the glass 1 ~ 2cm, and do not directly touch the glass mouth.

This is also because the glass mouth is fragile and I am afraid of breaking it if I am not careful.

You will also see this phenomenon on the wine table. After pouring wine from a bottle, one or two drops of residual liquid will drip down, or flow down the bottle, making the pourer's palm wet and uncomfortable.

Seeing this situation, I will tell the pourer privately that at the end of pouring, I will quickly rotate the bottle and slowly raise the bottle mouth so that the wine will not drip down and flow back to the bottle directly.

At present, some restaurants will provide anti-drip tablets, which can avoid residual liquid dripping by just winding around and inserting them into the bottle mouth, but it is still quite rare.

When pouring wine, you can only pour one-third of the glass. This is what I wrote in How to pour red wine, and how much is appropriate? "mentioned.

If you go to someone else's seat to pour wine, you'd better stand on the guest's right. When pouring wine, you can also pick up the other person's glass and put it back after pouring the wine.

The above is about pouring wine with a wine bottle, and then talk about the method of pouring wine with a decanter.

Two common methods.

One is to hold the bottle neck of the decanter by hand and pour the wine, as shown above.

The other is to hold the bottle neck of the decanter with your left hand, then hold the bottle bottom of the decanter with your right hand and pour the wine, as shown in the above picture.

Needless to say, the method of pouring wine in the wine separator. This is more convenient.

When pouring wine directly from a bottle, pay attention to whether this bottle of wine is for the elderly.

When the wine is old, there will usually be some sediment accumulation at the bottom of the bottle. When pouring wine, be careful not to pour the last bit of wine into someone else's cup.

This reminds me of a dinner party, where my friend brought a few bottles of wine to the old man and mixed them with a pile of red wine when drinking. Another friend didn't notice when pouring wine, and poured all the last wine.

Finally, I took a sip of wine residue and made a fool of myself.

Pour wine on the wine table, also depends on the order.

During the banquet, some accompanying guests will watch everyone drink and add wine to the people present.

Generally, the wine is poured clockwise or counterclockwise, starting with the theme and guest position, and then pouring one by one.

Don't underestimate the way of pouring wine. There is also a set of doorways.
