In business entertainment, the rules at the wine table are as important as the rules of the workplace. The following is my interpretation and expansion of the rules of the drinking party you provide, hoping to add a calm and wisdom to your business entertainment.
1.Respect the leader, order first. When toasting, you should wait for the leaders to finish drinking each other before it is your turn to toast. When toasting, stand up and raise your glass with both hands as a sign of respect.
2.Many people respect one person, and one person respects many people. When toasting, you can toast one person together, but you can't toast more than one person, unless you are the leader.
3.Number of toasts, subject to availability. When toasting others, if you don't clink glasses, how much you drink can be judged according to the amount of alcohol and drinking attitude of the other person. Remember, don't drink less than the other person, otherwise it will appear insincere.
4.Toast and clink glasses to show sincerity. If you clink glasses during a toast, you can say "I'll finish it, you're free" to show your generosity and respect.
5.Take the initiative to add wine, but at the right time. In the wine party, remember to add more wine to the leader or customer, but don't blindly substitute the wine. If you want to substitute alcohol, do so only if the leader or customer really needs it, and pretend that you want to drink because you want to drink and not for the sake of the leader.
6.Hold up your glass and pay attention to your posture. When drinking, hold the glass (beer glass) in your right hand and the bottom of the cup with your left hand, remembering that your glass is always lower than others. If it's a leader, don't put it too low, so that it won't be difficult for the employees below to do it.
7.Touch the order of the wine and treat it fairly. When touching wine, it is best to do it in chronological order so as not to favor one over the other.
8.Clink glasses and toast, have a saying. When toasting, have the appropriate words, otherwise, why would someone else drink your wine?
9.The wine table does not speak of business, and you know it. At the wine table, don't talk about business, drink well, and the business is almost done. Everyone understands in their hearts, otherwise people wouldn't be open to drinking with you.
10.When you don't have enough alcohol, pay attention to the strategy. If you don't have enough wine, you can put the bottle in the middle of the table and let people add it yourself, instead of pouring the wine one by one, so that the people behind you don't have enough to drink.
In the wine party, the following points should also be noted:
The host respects the guest of honor, the guest respects the guest of honor, the guest of honor returns the salute, and the guest respects each other. This is the basic order of the toast, and it should not be thrown out of order.
When you are a guest, you must not make a toast with the host, which is very rude and disrespectful to the host.
In business entertainment, the rules at the wine table are an art that we need to learn and practice with our hearts. By mastering these rules, we can be more comfortable in business and socialize, and earn the respect and trust of others. At the same time, it is also an interpersonal skill that can help us get along better with others and improve our social skills in the workplace.
