I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'prevent them getting' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'team with a bottle of wine perhaps?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'team' could be 'crew' (crew is a kind of team) and 'crew' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'stp' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'around' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
