It's a new tipple (4)
I believe the answer is:
asti
'tipple' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'it's a new' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'its'+'a'='itsa'
'itsa' is an anagram of 'ASTI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for asti that I've seen before include "Piedmont wine city, SE of Turin" , "- spumante, It. wine" , "Source of fizz" , "Sparkling wine named after an Italian Piedmont town" , "Italian drunk" .)
