Celebrity consuming some wine during a shortage (6)
I believe the answer is:
famine
'shortage' is the definition.
(I know that shortage can be written as famine)
'celebrity consuming some wine' is the wordplay.
'celebrity' becomes 'fame' (celebrity can mean the quality of being famous).
'consuming' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'some' says to take the centre.
The middle letters of 'wine' are 'in'.
'fame' going around 'in' is 'FAMINE'.
'during a' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for famine that I've seen before include "Severe food scarcity" , "Extreme scarcity of food" , "Human tragedy through drought, etc" , "Severe and widespread shortage of food" , "Extreme lack of food" .)
