escanciar

Verb

 * 1) to serve (food or drink)
 * 2) to pour (cider)

Etymology
Ultimately from, probably via Gothic.

Verb

 * 1)  to pour cider by raising the bottle over one's head and into the glass held tilted by one's waist

Usage notes

 * 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.
