Plucky types opened Pinot and fantastic claret (7)
I believe the answer is:
plectra
'plucky types' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'opened pinot and fantastic claret' is the wordplay.
'opened pinot' becomes 'p' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'fantastic' is an anagram indicator.
'claret' anagrammed gives 'lectra'.
'p'+'lectra'='PLECTRA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plectra that I've seen before include "Parts for harpsichord" , "Guitar picks" , "Plucky types" , "Bits of plastic maybe" , "Guitar plucking aids" .)
