I believe the answer is:

sherries

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

'preprandial tipples?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'sirs here supply' is the wordplay.
'supply' is an anagram indicator (supply of letters to make).
'sirs'+'here'='sirshere'
'sirshere' anagrammed gives 'SHERRIES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sherries that I've seen before include "Drinks form Jerez?" , "Here, sirs for appetising drinks from Jerez" .)
