Beer bottles container for French region (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alsace

'french region' is the definition.
(Alsace is an example)

'beer bottles container' is the wordplay.
'beer' becomes 'ale' (I've seen this before).
'bottles' is an insertion indicator ('bottle' can mean to contain).
'container' becomes 'sac'.
'ale' going around 'sac' is 'ALSACE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for alsace that I've seen before include "White wine; Fr. region" , "Riesling-producing region eastern France" , "Region in France, occasionally German" , "Wine-producing area" , "French region; white wine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
