wine ceremony
Vintner's formal toast
A wine ceremony is a ritual in which a couple pours wine from separate vessels into a single glass, then drinks together, symbolizing the blending of their lives.
Common at weddings, it may involve wines chosen by each partner or their families.
Some couples seal a bottle to open on a future anniversary.
