Stereotyping

[edit]

I've removed the followinrg paragraph from the article as it seems both POV and possibly offensive to working classes.

In England these phrases are more associated with the middle rather than the working classes. Drinkers of lager are not normally known to slip out for an early-evening swift-half as they will already have been in the bar since lunchtime.

The snifter is more often to be found being drunk by older males (cf Johnnie Cradock) and is stereotypically consumed by sozzled retired colonels to help stiffen their backbones or those of their friends.

Layout

[edit]

The picture of the snifter is really quite out of the way. The icon for the 'Drinks' category, a tall ordinary glass, is closer to the text of the article, and it looks like that is the illustration to the article to readers not familiar with wikipedia layout.

The picture of the snifter should be closer to the body of the text than the picture of the tall glass to make it clear which is a snifter. On smaller screen resolutions, only the tall glass is visible, with the snifter photograph off-screen.

Etymology

[edit]

The etymology of the term "snifter" is useful to this rather sparse and obtuse article. --KJRehberg (talk) 05:30, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Inclusion of the "pipe snifter"

[edit]

This mention of the "pipe snifter" in the article is unsourced and a quick internet search for "pipe snifter" does not produce notable results. I think for this reason we should not have half of the images in this article be of the pipe snifter. ~2026-40014-70 (talk) 13:36, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
