Extreme sun unfortunately limiting red French wine (5-4-4)
I believe the answer is:
entre-deux-mers
'french wine' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'extreme sun unfortunately limiting red' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates an anagram (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'limiting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'extreme'+'sun'='extremesun'
'extremesun' is an anagram of 'enteuxmers'.
'enteuxmers' placed around 'red' is 'ENTRE-DEUX-MERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
