意味
A toast used before drinking, wishing good health.
文化的背景
In regions like the Mosel or Pfalz, 'Zum Wohl' is often followed by a discussion of the wine's 'Körper' (body) and 'Säure' (acidity). It is a gateway to wine culture. In Austria, you might hear 'Gesegnete Mahlzeit' before eating, but 'Zum Wohl' remains the king of the wine table, often said with a slight nod of the head. In German business culture, the highest-ranking person or the host initiates the first toast. Do not drink until 'Zum Wohl' or 'Prost' has been said.
Eye Contact is Key
Always look the person in the eye when saying 'Zum Wohl'. It's a sign of trust and respect.
The Glass Rule
If the glass has a stem, say 'Zum Wohl'. If it's a mug or a heavy glass, 'Prost' is safer.

よくある質問
3 問You can, but it sounds very formal or even slightly sarcastic in a casual pub. Stick to 'Prost' for beer.
