DRINKS

When wine is served with a meal, certain procedures have to be followed. After the host tests the wine, he asks that the glasses of the guests are filled, you wait for the first toast and then you begin to drink always after the host. It's good to smell, taste and express your appreciation for good wine.

We hold the glass with three fingers and not with palm. You drink as much as you can handle. You don't drink with your mouth full. You drink slowly and soundless.

BEGINNING OF A MEAL

At an official meal there is usually a table plan with the name of each guest written on a card. In such a case when the beginning of the meal is announced you take a seat against the card with your name on.

In cases where there is no table plan, you wait for the host to show you where to sit.

If the host tells that you can sit wherever you like, then you sit in a way that a male and a female will be sitting alternatively.

DURING A MEAL

Always praise the host for the delicious meal. If you do not like the food served, never make faces but force yourself to eat it. If you have to leave the table for a while always ask to be excused.

If you finish your meal before the others, do not smoke. If you do, ask for their permission.

CONVERSATION

A meal to be enjoyed and well digested has to be taken in a calm and pleasant atmosphere. Therefore, avoiding unpleasant or irritating. to others conversation would help create that atmosphere.

Avoid talking continuously about yourself, your family and your personal problems.

Do not insist on matter discussed, if you are not well informed on that matter.

Do not ignore the people sitting next to you.

If there is a blabber at the table you must try and bear with him. Never try to imitate him.

ENDING OF A MEAL

The ending of a meal is signaled when the host gets up. You also get up by slightly lifting your chair. Do not drag the chair along the floor.

Do not leave the house right after the meal or stay there for hours, as in both cases you would be impolite.

When leaving, you do not forget to talk again and express your congratulations to the hostess for the wonderful meal. You greet all the other guests and leave.
