Verb
[edit]escanciar (first-person singular present escancio, first-person singular preterite escancié, past participle escanciado)
- (transitive) to pour cider by raising the bottle over one's head and into the glass held tilted by one's waist
Usage notes
[edit]- The verb is almost exclusively used to describe this method of pouring cider, which is common in Asturias.
- The pourer looks blankly forward, not at the bottle or at the glass. It is poured this way to allow air bubbles into the drink, and generally a few drops are spilt on the floor in the process.
