(transitive) 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.
