Great lover with sex appeal certainly not into wine (8)
I believe the answer is:
casanova
'great lover' is the definition.
'casanova' can be an answer for 'lover' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'great' bit.
'sex appeal certainly not into wine' is the wordplay.
'sex appeal' becomes 'sa'.
'certainly not' becomes 'no'.
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'wine' becomes 'cava' (I have seen 'Spanish wine ' mean 'cava' so perhaps 'wine' could also mean 'cava'**).
'sa'+'no'='sano'
'sano' inserted inside 'cava' is 'CASANOVA'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for casanova that I've seen before include "Predatory male" , "Lady-killer" , "Italian adventurer, wrote vivid accounts of his amorous encounters" , "Amorous Venetian" , "Notorious lover" .)
