Libations

I know I've heard some of the Recons, particularly of the Greek variety, mention pouring libations as part of worship or to honor a deity. I'm curious about this practice... Is there any sort of structure associated with this, like words that need said or other actions that need done or preparation, or do you just sort of pour at will? And are some liquids considered more appropriate for use as libations than others? (And if so, is there a reason behind that beyond "this is what the ancients used" or "this is what this deity prefers"?)
