Some wine produced Irish rebels (7)
I believe the answer is:
madeira
'some wine' is the definition.
(Madeira is an example)
'produced irish rebels' is the wordplay.
'produced' becomes 'made' ('make' can be a synonym of 'produce').
'irish rebels' becomes 'ira' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'made'+'ira'='MADEIRA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for madeira that I've seen before include "Portuguese North Atlantic island" , "Portuguese island off northwest Africa" , "Sponge-cake" , "Dessert wine from a Portuguese Atlantic island" , "Atlantic island, famed for its sweet wine" .)
