Talk:Snifter

Stereotyping
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.

I removed the following line as that it seems POV and possibly offensive to older males, Johnnie Cradock and sozzled retired colonels
 * 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
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
The etymology of the term "snifter" is useful to this rather sparse and obtuse article. --KJRehberg (talk) 05:30, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
