How to propose a toast to someone higher than yourself

4hw.com.cn: toasting is also called toasting. It refers to drinking at a formal banquet when the host proposes to the guests and proposes a certain cause. In drinking, usually to say some wishes, blessing class words, even the host and guest of honor to publish a special toast. The shorter the toast, the better.

How to toast someone higher than yourself

Toasting can be carried out in the process of drinking at any time. If a formal toast is given, it should be held at a specific time, which does not affect the dining of guests. The toast is suitable to begin after the guests are seated and before the meal. It can also be done after eating the main course and before the dessert is served.

In drinking, especially when toasting and toasting, someone should take the lead in proposing a toast, which can be the host, guest of honor, or the people present. When you propose a toast, you should stand up, hold the glass with your right hand, or hold the bottom of the cup with your left hand after you pick up the glass with your right hand. With a smile, look at other people, especially your own toast objects, and say blessing words at the same time.

It is suggested that after a toast, one should stand up with a glass in hand. Even if you don't drink, you have to pick up the cup and act like it. Hold the glass up to the eye height. After saying 'cheers', drink the wine completely or properly. Then, with a glass in hand and a look at the proposer, the process is over.

In Chinese food, before drinking, you can touch the glass symbolically with the other party; when you touch the glass, you should make your glass lower than the other party's glass to show your respect for the other party. Touch the table with the bottom of the glass, you can also mean to touch the other side. When you are far away from each other, you can do it in this way. If the host toasts in person, ask to return to the host and have another toast with him.

Generally speaking, toasting should be in the order of age, filial piety, position and the identity of guest and host. We must fully consider the order of toasting and make clear the priority. Even if you are drinking with someone you are not familiar with, you should first inquire about your identity or pay attention to other people's title to him, so as to avoid embarrassment or hurt feelings. Even if you ask a guest at the table, you should be more respectful to him. But if there are higher status or older people present, you should also toast the elderly first, otherwise it will make everyone very embarrassed.

If it is not suitable for drinking due to living habits or health reasons, it can also entrust relatives, friends, subordinates, younger generation to drink on behalf of them or replace them with drinks and tea. As a toaster, he should be considerate of the other party. When the other party asks for a drink or drinks instead, he should not make the other party drink, nor should he curiously 'break the casserole and ask the end'. You know, if someone doesn't take the initiative to explain the reason, it means that the other party thinks it's his privacy.

In Western food, only champagne is used to make a toast, and you can't cross the people around you and toast with others.

How to propose a toast for business dinner

From the perspective of operation process, we should pay attention to the following four aspects:

1. How to pour the wine

You need to pour before you toast. According to the rules, except for the host and service staff, other guests generally do not pour wine for others. If the host pours wine in person, it should be poured with the best wine in the banquet. The guests should hold up their glasses to thank them and stand up when necessary.

If it is a large business meal, it should be the service staff to pour wine. Pour wine generally from the high, and then pour clockwise. If you don't need wine, you can put your hand on the glass and say 'no, thank you'. At this time, there is no need for the cupbearer to ask for it again and again.

In Chinese food, when other people pour wine, they can also return with a 'kowtow ceremony'. Especially when one's status is higher than his master. That is, with the right thumb, index finger and middle finger pinched together, fingertips down, tap a few times on the table to express thanks for pouring wine.

How much wine should I pour? Liquor and beer can be filled, while other foreign wine is not.

2. When is the toast?

Toasts should be held at a specific time, and do not affect the dining of guests as the primary consideration.

Toast is divided into formal toast and ordinary toast. Formal toast, generally in the guest and host seat, before the meal can be respectful, generally is the host to respect, but also to say the standard wine words. And the ordinary toast, as long as it is after the formal toast can start. However, it should be noted that when the other party is convenient, for example, he did not toast with other people, and his mouth was not chewing, and he thought that the other party might be willing to accept your toast. Moreover, if you toast to the same person, you should wait for someone with a higher status than yourself to do so.

3. Order of toast

What's the order of toast? Generally speaking, the order should be in accordance with the age, the position of filial piety and the identity of guest and host. Before toasting, we must fully consider the order of toasting, and make clear the priority and priority to avoid embarrassment. Even if you are not clear about your position or status, you should toast in a unified order. For example, you should toast clockwise from your side, or toast from left to right and from right to left.

4. Behavior requirements of toasting

Toast is divided into formal toast and ordinary toast. Formal toast refers to that at the beginning of a banquet, the host toasts to everyone and says a standard toast at the same time. The content of the toast can be a little longer, but it will be finished in five minutes.

Whether it is the host or the guests, if they toast to the collective in their seats, they are required to stand up first, with a smile on their faces, a wine cup in hand, and face everyone.

When the host toasts and toasts to the group, everyone should stop eating or drinking. When the host proposes a toast, everyone should hold up their glasses, stand up and touch each other. According to the international practice, toasts do not have to drink dry. But even if people who don't drink at ordinary times, they should also pick up the wine cup and sip it to show their respect for the host.

In addition to the host toasting to the group, guests can also toast to the group. Guests' toast can be more brief, even a word or two. For example: 'everybody, in order to have a happy cooperation in the future, cheers! '

Usually involves the etiquette standard content more or the ordinary toast. The common toast is that after the host officially toasts, each guest and host or between guests can toast each other, and say one or two simple toast or persuasion words at the same time.

When people propose a toast to you, hold the glass to the height of your eyes. Drink after the other party has said a toast or 'cheers'. After drinking, you have to take a glass and look at each other, and the process is over.

For our country, we should pay special attention to toasting. Both the honoring party and the accepting party should take measures according to local conditions and do as the Romans do. In most areas of our country, especially in the northeast, Inner Mongolia and other northern regions, we often pay attention to 'dry when we toast'. In their view, only in this way can sincerity and respect be expressed. Therefore, in the specific response, we should pay attention to the fact that one's drinking capacity is not good. We should explain it sincerely in advance. Don't seem to hold the wine to the other Party boldly. When the other party dries up, you just mean it, which will often cause the other party's displeasure. In addition, for toasts, if the other party is really not able to drink, there is no need to force. The highest level of drinking should be 'drink well' rather than 'drink down'.

In Chinese food, there is another particular point. That is to say, after the host toasts to you personally, you should return to the host and have another toast with him. In return, you should hold the cup in your right hand, hold the bottom in your left hand, and drink with the other party at the same time. When cheering, you can touch the glass symbolically with the other party. Don't use too much force to hear the sound. Out of respect, you can make your glass lower than the other's. If you are far away from each other, you can touch the table with the bottom of the glass, which means touching the glass.

Different from Chinese food, Western food is used to toast, toast wine, usually with champagne. What's more, it's just toasting, not persuading. It's just toasting and not really clinking glasses. You can't go beyond the people around you and those who are far away from you to toast, especially cross cheers.
