Almost invariably, the pub staff havn't got the foggiest idea what one of these is, or they serve up randomly measured drinks at all sorts of random prices.
This is my wife's favourite drink and I am getting tired of trying to get the measure she wants.

When You Ask For a Sherry You Should Get 1 Measure Of Sherry Which Equals 2 fluid Ounces
A Schooner Of Sherry Should Be 4 Fluid Ounces In Other Words Its A Double Sherry....lol
As For The Prices They Should Have A Price List Up So Customers Can See The Prices Of The Drinks...
If You Keep Getting Charged Different Prices For The Same Drinks Each Time Maybe You Could Ask For A Receipt Then You Can Show The Manager Or The Bar Person That Your Drink Prices Keep Changing....
If All Above Fails Try Going To Another Pub Where The Staff Know What They Are Doing....
I Also Know This Answer As I Used To Work In Pubs....
Hope This Has Helped You Out....

schooner
an informal unit of liquid volume. A schooner is a large tumbler or drinking glass holding about 400 milliliters or 13.5 U.S. fluid ounces. Similarly, in Queensland, New South Wales, and the Northern Territory (Australia) a schooner of beer holds 425 milliliters. In South Australia, however, a schooner is only 285 milliliters.
