Easy to carry, wine and beer bachelor brought in (8)
I believe the answer is:
portable
'easy to carry' is the definition.
'wine and beer bachelor brought in' is the wordplay.
'wine' becomes 'port' (port is a kind of wine**).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'beer' becomes 'ale' (I've seen this before).
'bachelor' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. BA=Bachelor of Arts).
'brought in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ale' enclosing 'b' is 'able'.
'port'+'able'='PORTABLE'
(Other definitions for portable that I've seen before include "easy to bear?" , "Designed to be easily carried" , "Easily transported" , "Handy - lightweight" , "radio" .)
