It is considered absolutely essential that refreshment be offered to any visitors, and it is sort of impolite to refuse to consume anything.

But recently I came to understand that it is not necessarily a done thing in other cultures, hence my curiosity.

solar_flare: not generally. Sometimes my husband's family members will stop by, but very rarely. I think it's almost rude here to just pop in on people, since we have so many ways to let them know ahead of time.
and turning down refreshment, I don't consider it rude, but I'm not sure what others think. I tend to take it as a truth: the person said no, they merely aren't thirsty.

now that I think of it, my grandparents go through a chorus of "coffee? tea? you must have something, let me get you some tea" every few minutes while we're there. Even if we've already said no. Even if we've already said yes and have an entire pot of tea in front of us.
