Basic knowledge of toast etiquette

When the host makes a toast, the staff at each table should stand up and raise their glasses, and they should greet each other visually when clinking glasses. It is impolite not to look at each other when toasting. When there is no toast at the main table, other tables are not allowed to stand up or toast first. Guests should not propose a toast to the host first, so as not to usurp the host's role.

Clinking glasses and toasting each other can show friendship and enliven the atmosphere of the banquet, but be careful not to cross glasses. It is not appropriate for men to propose a toast in love women. When there are many people, you can raise your glasses at the same time, and you don't have to clink them.

When toasting, you should be self-aware, keep your manners and avoid drinking too much. Generally speaking, at a formal banquet, you should take the initiative to control your drinking capacity within 1/3 of your drinking capacity. You can't drink too much, make a fool of yourself, or get drunk.

Toast and toast at western-style banquets are very different from Chinese food. Champagne is the only toast at western banquets, so even if you can't drink it, you should touch a few drops. Westerners generally only propose a toast, but don't persuade them to drink. Only toast, not really toast, drink or not, drink as much as you like. Drinking at the table is beneath your dignity.

You can toast at any time when you drink. If it is a formal toast, it should be at a specific time, which will not affect the guests' meal. Toast is suitable to start after guests and hosts are seated and before meals. It can also be after the main course and before the dessert is served.

In Chinese food, before toasting, you can symbolically touch each other's glasses; When clinking glasses, you should make your glass lower than the other's to show your respect for the other. When you are far away from each other, gently touch the table with the bottom of the cup, indicating that you touched each other's cups. If the host toasts himself, ask for a toast to the host and toast with him again.

In general, toasting should be carried out in the order of age, position and the identity of the guest and the host. Be sure to give full consideration to the order of toasting and prioritize. Even if you are drinking with people you don't know, you should first inquire about your identity or pay attention to other people's names to avoid embarrassment or hurting feelings. Even if you want something from the guest at the dinner table, you should show him more respect. If there are people with higher status or elders present, we should also propose a toast to the elders first, otherwise it will make everyone very embarrassed.
