Drunk Pinot over the weekend - a favourite of old writer taking a dip perhaps (6)
I believe the answer is:
inkpot
'a favourite of old writer taking a dip perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'drunk pinot over the weekend' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'over' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the weekend' becomes 'k' (I've seen this in other clues).
'pinot' is an anagram of 'inpot'.
'inpot' placed around 'k' is 'INKPOT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inkpot that I've seen before include "fluid container" , "that may assist writer" , "Topper-up for old writer" , "Vessel for writing fluid" , "Source for old writer" .)
