Who is typically served their glass of wine first at a dinner party?

• A. Woman to the right
• B. The Host
• C. The eldest guest
• D. The guest of honor

Answer: (A)

In formal wine service, the pour starts with the person on the host’s right and moves around the table in a set order. That first pour is traditionally for the guest on the host’s right, and in many social settings the first guest on that side is a woman, reflecting the longstanding “ladies first” convention.

So the best choice is the woman seated to the host’s right, because this follows the standard service flow and the courtesy practice of giving precedence to women. The other options don’t align as reliably with the typical pouring order: the host, the eldest guest, or the guest of honor aren’t universally the first to be served.
