Verb

escanciar (first-person singular present escancio, first-person singular preterite escancié, past participle escanciado)

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

Usage notes

The verb is only used to describe this method of pouring cider, which is common in Asturias.
