What to have when it's raining in Burgundy (5)
I believe the answer is:
macon
'raining in burgundy' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'what to have when' is the wordplay.
'what' becomes 'mac' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to have' says to put letters next to each other.
'when' becomes 'on' (I've seen this in other clues).
'mac'+'on'='MACON'
'it's' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for macon that I've seen before include "Wandering (knight)" , "Drink" , "Burgundian wine" , "red" , "French wine district" .)
