'how amazing to tuck into case of sancerre' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'amazing to tuck into case of sancerre' is the wordplay.
'amazing' becomes 'cor' (both are expressions of surprise).
'to tuck into' is an insertion indicator.
'case of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (outsides of).
'sancerre' with its centre removed is 'se'.
'cor' inserted within 'se' is 'SCORE'.
