Drunk in France gets locked first, tucking into Spanish wine at parties (8)
I believe the answer is:
calvados
'drunk in france' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'locked first tucking into spanish wine at parties' is the wordplay.
'locked first' becomes 'l' (dst letter of 'locked').
'tucking into' indicates putting letters inside.
'spanish wine' becomes 'cava' (type of wine).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'parties' becomes 'dos' (do is a kind of party).
'l' placed into 'cava' is 'calva'.
'calva'+'dos'='CALVADOS'
'gets' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for calvados that I've seen before include "area near Caen" , "Type of apple brandy" , "Brandy distilled from apple cider" , "Vocal ads (anag) - apple brandy" , "drink" .)
