Sister-in-law ignores wines in cases (6)
I believe the answer is:
trials
'cases' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trials that I've seen before include "Attempts" , "Legal proceedings or tests of endurance" , "Court cases or ordeals" , "Court hearings or experiments" , "Tribulations" .)
