Sadly I regret drinking French wine, recovering (10)
I believe the answer is:
retrieving
'recovering' is the definition.
('retrieve' can be a synonym of 'recover')
'sadly i regret drinking french wine' is the wordplay.
'sadly' is an anagram indicator.
'drinking' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are consumed or drunk).
'french wine' becomes 'vin' ('wine' in French).
'i'+'regret'='iregret'
'iregret' with letters rearranged gives 'retrieg'.
'retrieg' enclosing 'vin' is 'RETRIEVING'.
(Another definition for retrieving that I've seen is " Fetching, bringing back".)
