Wine Etiquette

This month we are talking about wine etiquette.


Toasting…. Here’s to you
You are at a business dinner; the host has asked the guests to join him in a toast to you….do you know what to do?

When a toast is made to you:
- Look at your host who is making the toast.
- When everyone stands and raises their glass…you do not touch your glass.
- Drinking a toast to yourself is like clapping for yourself.
- Just smile and acknowledge the host and the guests as they raise their glasses to you.

There will be an opportunity to return the toast to the host, at which time you would drink.

Knowing how to accept a toast is like knowing how to receive a business gift….it is one of the gracious aspects of your business savvy.


Stay tuned, soon we will talk about the etiquette of returning a toast.
