Drink wine with monarch (6)
I believe the answer is:
porter
'monarch' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'drink wine' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'port' (port is a kind of drink).
'wine' becomes 'er' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'port'+'er'='PORTER'
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for porter that I've seen before include "Drink for a hotel worker" , "Doorkeeper; dark beer" , "Black beer or hotel employee" , "Dark sweet ale" , "Hotel bag-carrier or dark beer" .)
