Altos got drunk on Italian wine, in one of several infractions committed (10)
I believe the answer is:
violations
'altos' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'drunk on italian wine in one of several infractions committed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'on' could be 'at' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'at' is found within the answer.
'italian' could be 'i' (abbreviation for Italian) and 'i' is located in the answer.
'one' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
'in' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'got' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
