Crossword Genius

Guy drinks last of Sauterne (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tease

'guy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'drinks last of sauterne' is the wordplay.
'drinks' becomes 'teas' (tea is a kind of drink).
'last of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'sauterne' is 'e'.
'teas'+'e'='TEASE'

(Other definitions for tease that I've seen before include "Rag" , "Torment lightly" , "Josh" , "Comb to remove tangles and open out the fibres" , "Gently make fun of (someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
