Preserve place for wine dispenser at table (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
salt cellar
'dispenser at table' is the definition.
(salt dispenser used with a meal)
'preserve place for wine' is the wordplay.
'preserve' becomes 'salt' (salting is a kind of preserving).
'place for wine' becomes 'cellar' (I've seen this before).
'salt'+'cellar'='SALT-CELLAR'
(Another definition for salt cellar that I've seen is " Container".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
