recorder

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'flute' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'book again including a little champagne' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'book' could be 'record' (synonyms) and 'record' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'er' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
