Everyone is familiar with toasts, and they are an indispensable part of our current wine table.
Tracing the Origin of Toast Words
It can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, the nobles and officials of the kingdom would "sing poems" and "compose impromptu songs" at every banquet. Nowadays, toast words have become more and more classic. They not only make people feel the breadth and depth of Chinese wine culture, but also marvel at the colorfulness of our own words!
Drinking has become a part of life
Wine culture has developed very maturely in our lives. Whether it is a gathering of family and friends or a social event, wine is not needed to adjust the atmosphere. During the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, it is inevitable for everyone to have social events and parties.
In daily life, we all say that drinking is harmful to the body and causes problems, but we still cannot stop drinking at the drinking table, especially when socializing and discussing work. Most business contracts are negotiated at the drinking table. , Therefore, in today's highly competitive society, drinking is inevitable.
Drinking in the workplace is essential
Especially those who are already working hard in the workplace must know some toast words, because there are many people who can drink and have good eyes. The boss likes the most people who can talk. A good toast word at the wine table is better than drinking. Three glasses of wine are useful.
Although some people can drink, if they can't speak, the leader will not reuse them. To be honest, the wine table is a good opportunity for the leader to get to know you, and the best way for the leader to get to know you is to toast. When toasting Getting leaders to pay attention to oneself is also a skill. Today I will teach you a few toasts that can liven up the atmosphere while drinking and get the attention of leaders.

Drinking order
Everyone knows that alcohol is a good thing, but we must promote moderate drinking, civilized drinking, and healthy drinking. You still have to act according to your ability. Today I will share with the editor what words you usually use to persuade drinking friends?
1. Basic etiquette: Pay attention to toasting in clockwise order, and at the same time, your own cup is lower than others.
I believe that anyone who has drank wine knows this basic etiquette: your own wine glass is lower than someone else's. To put it simply, it is a sign of respect. The order of toasting, if you are drinking with the leader or elders, start with the leader or elders first, and come one by one. Generally, friends are more casual. If you are more particular, follow the direction of the moment.
2. Pay attention to the order of precedence. Wait until the leaders and elders have finished drinking each other before you can toast.
When leaders or elders are present, you need to be very particular. If you want to serve a dish, you usually have to wait for the leader or elders to eat first, and then the younger ones start eating. The same principle applies when toasting. We usually let the leaders or elders drink with each other. After they finish drinking each other, it is the time for the younger generations to pay filial piety, so this is the time when you start to toast. Don’t toast to the leaders or elders at the beginning. It is not advisable to show authority to the leader when he comes up: "Do it first to respect the leader, and the leader is free to do whatever he wants."
3. You cannot have the privileges of leaders and elders: leaders and elders can respect many people, but you cannot.
After all, leaders and elders are generally older than us in terms of qualifications, age, and experience. That’s why they become our leaders and elders, and therefore have some privileges. The most basic one to remember is that they can be alone All of you, one to many. But you juniors can't do that, so you can only respect one by one. Unless you wait until you are promoted to become a leader. Don't be too smart. I'd like to toast everyone. It sounds good, but it's actually not advisable.
4. Observe people’s words, help add more wine, and toast at the right time.
It is very important to keep an eye on the four phenomena and listen to all directions at the wine table. Always consider the drinking needs of your leaders or elders, if you want to match your leaders or elders well. It is very important to observe their behavior. Simply add wine to them in time, especially when the glass is empty. Then the order of adding wine should also be paid attention to, leading first. In addition, in addition to the standard toasting process, toasts should be made at the appropriate time. Don't let the leader have an embarrassing situation where he wants to drink but no one toasts him. Then you are screwed.
5. Toast words. When toasting, you must prepare appropriate toast words.
In addition to drinking a lot of alcohol, it is also very important to be able to speak and say a nice toast. The most successful toasts are those that can touch the hearts of leaders or elders and make them smile. Stop drinking alcohol alone. It's just drinking alone. If you don’t have a lot of vocabulary or your expression skills are not very good, you should do your homework beforehand and simply memorize a few commonly used toasts, so that you can adapt to the situation and avoid the embarrassing scene of toasting.
6. The new dining table does not require "six".
Don't keep talking to yourself;
Do not whisper;
Don’t touch up your makeup at the dinner table;
Don’t pick your teeth at the dinner table;
Don’t leave without saying hello;
Don't use your phone at the dinner table.
2. Toasting etiquette and speaking skills:
1. Ordering skills:
Understand the identity and taste of the guests and arrange appropriate dishes. For example, whether the guest has taboos, is allergic to certain foods, or belongs to an ethnic minority all need to be considered. When ordering, pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, hot and cold dishes, and the main course is generally 1-2 more than the guest. Serve cold dishes first, then stir-fry, then serve soup, snacks, fruit plates, etc.
2. Civilized dining:
Eat in a civilized manner when dining, and do not ask for food repeatedly; the amount of food should be appropriate, not too much; for dishes such as corn kernels, use a spoon to scoop them directly into individual bowls, rather than using chopsticks to eat them one by one; if it is a transfer At the dining table, it is best to rotate clockwise to pick up dishes. Remember to turn when others are picking up dishes.
3. Pay attention to the following when serving wine:
When pouring wine at the wine table, you should first pour the wine to the elder or guest, and always observe whether there is still wine in the other person's wine glass. The wine should not be poured too full or too little. Generally, eight minutes full is appropriate.
4. Toast speech:
When toasting, you must have something to say, and do not let the other person drink directly. If you are toasting to a leader, you can say "Thank you for the leadership's cultivation." When toasting a colleague, you can say "Thank you for your cooperation at work, which has caused a lot of trouble." You can also memorize some classic toasts, such as "If the wine is poured half way, blessings will continue. If the wine is poured 70% full, there will be 30% love left." to increase the fun of the wine table.
3. Toast etiquette cup height:
1. When toasting, the height of the cup should be particular. I believe that anyone who has drank wine knows this basic etiquette: your own wine glass is lower than someone else's. To put it simply, it is a sign of respect.
2. If the other person is your elder or boss or someone with a higher social status than you, then you should place the cup lower than the other person to show respect;
3. If the other person is your junior or subordinate, you can be higher than the other person. Of course, if you want to show your humility or want to lower your profile, you can also make the cup lower than the other person or even.
4. When dealing with strangers or when you don’t know the other person’s identity, you usually make your cup lower or equal to that of the other person to show humility.
4. How to toast and talk when having a meal with the leader
1. There is order between elders and younger ones.
Chinese culture has a culture of order, which emphasizes the order of respect for elders and younger ones. Therefore, it is usually the initiator of the banquet who proposes the first glass of wine. Then, the host or the person with the highest position at the table toasts the second glass of wine; next, toasts are given in order of position. When toasting, maintain a humble and low-key principle. Hold the cup a little lower than the leader. Try to hold the cup with your left hand and hold the bottom with your right hand to show respect for the leader.
2. Express gratitude.
After three rounds of drinking, it is a free toast stage to thank the leader for his attention/promotion/help. At this time, you have to drink it all in one go. The leader is free to drink a little.
3. Admit your wrong mind.
Recall a certain thing or task that was not done well, and then tell the leader that thanks to the leader's help at the time, it was successfully solved. If you do it too, the leader will definitely be more casual.
4. Show loyalty.
It means that you must work hard with the leader, learn more from the leader, etc. It is best to give an example. In this way, the leader will naturally be happy after hearing this, and others will follow suit.
5. Promote collective work.
Even if you reach a certain stage of drinking, you can propose to toast the leader together, call on everyone to follow the leader, etc., which also reflects your appeal. (Note: Applies to senior level positions.)
6. Stop drinking or persuade leaders to drink less.
At the end of the banquet, you have to observe whether the leader is already drunk. If this is the case, your opportunity to show off has arrived. When you find someone else coming to toast the leader again, then go over and help the leader block the drink. If the leader still has some drinking power but can't drink too much, just say: I'll do it, you can do whatever you want.
