People have a habit of touching a glass before drinking, how did this habit come about?
One says it was created by the ancient Greeks. Legend has it that the ancient Greeks believed that when drinking wine, the nose of the person could smell the aroma of the wine, the eyes could see the color of the wine, the tongue could distinguish the taste of the wine, and only the ears were excluded. Therefore, before drinking, touch each other's cups, the cups make a crisp sound, and the ears can also share the pleasure of drinking.
Another theory is that the cup originated in ancient Rome. Ancient Rome advocated martial arts and often competed in wrestling. Before the competition, players used to drink alcohol as a sign of encouragement. In order to prevent someone from secretly putting poison on the other party, each side holds its own wine glass and pours it into the other's cup, so that it gradually develops into a kind of cupping etiquette.
