'Tired and emotional' oenophile given a little grape to classify (10)
I believe the answer is:
pigeonhole
'classify' is the definition.
(pigeonholing is a kind of classifying)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pigeonhole that I've seen before include "wherein one may put post" , "Recess in loft" , "Classify; bird's home" , "Categorise" .)
