Toasting Glasses
People click thier glasses or bottles for a toast. How and when this practice start?
The toast itself is a very old tradition and as legend has it was started by the Vikings. The chief, or king, brought all his warriors together and gave them a large cup of mead to pass from one to the other. His words were, “drink deeply my friends, and let he who drains the cup eat the moldy toast at the bottom”. In other words, leave some so everybody can enjoy it.
The idea of clinking the glasses is again based on legend. The idea started in Medieval times when poisoning was an accepted way of getting rid of an enemy or an obstacle. So you’d clink your cups together allowing some of your wine to get into the other person’s cup and vice-versa. You’d be telling them that if you’re poisoning me, I’m poisoning you.
Others tell of the sound being like that of a bell which frightens away evil spirits and lets you enjoy your meal in peace.
Another idea is that wine is to be appreciated with all 5 senses, so clinking the glasses enables your ears to hear it.
And finally the reasons for it have been lost to antiquity and we simply follow the practice laid down by our ancestors without actually knowing the reason why we do it.
