What is the order of pouring wine or water on the wine table?

When serving wine for the first time, the host can personally pour wine for all guests. The order of pouring wine is in counterclockwise direction, starting with the guests sitting on the left, and finally it is the host's turn.

After the guest has finished a drink, the host can ask the person sitting opposite (that is, the second host) to replace him with more wine for the people nearby. If the host prepares both red wine and white wine, the two bottles need to be placed at both ends of the table.

Many people prefer to drink only one of their favorite wines throughout the night, so a thoughtful host will have both red and white wine on hand. Although the insulator does not look good on the table, it is quite practical for keeping liquor chilled on midsummer nights.

It should be noted that never let guests drink two kinds of wine from the same cup. This is basic courtesy. Also, unless your skills are perfect, please put a towel on the neck of the bottle to prevent it from slipping when pouring wine, and keep the mouth of the bottle facing up as much as possible to avoid spilling the wine. A basket is needed to hold the wine bottles, and the wine bottles are placed on a near-horizontal slope so that the sediment in the bottle does not mix with the wine.

Wine pouring etiquette

1. How much wine should be poured? There is a saying in China that "the wine is full and the tea is shallow". However, with the changes of the times, it is now only half a cup. Except for beer of course.

2. If you are drinking more expensive wine, just take out the wine bottle, so that the guests will feel organized.

3. If you are drinking ordinary wine, pour the wine into the prepared glass bottle in advance so that it will not look low-key.

4. If you sit next to someone with a higher status than yourself, you need to refill the drink in time after drinking.

5. Remember not to leave the last bit of wine at the bottom of the bottle. If it happens to be the last one to pour, just pour it to the end. It will be okay if it overflows.

6. Remember that if there is a lady present, try to wait for the lady to toast first, and do not take the initiative to toast, as this will appear very impolite.
