Does it makes sense to say a toast was for a particular feeling or a purpose?

Are these good?

1. She felt free after her divorce. That evening she went to Becca's house. They poured wine and then raised their glasses in a toast of freedom.

2. She could feel how hostile the room was. But Jane had succeeded in humiliating and dominating them. She made eye contact with all of them before raising her glass in a toast of triumph.

3. She had managed to avenge the death of her son. She drank a toast to revenge.
