Told story about wine bottles (7)
I believe the answer is:
related
'told' is the definition.
(as in relating a story)
'story about wine bottles' is the wordplay.
'story' becomes 'tale' (synonyms).
'about' says the letters should be written backwards.
'wine' becomes 'red wine' (red is a type of wine).
'bottles' indicates putting letters inside (to bottle can mean to contain).
'tale' backwards is 'elat'.
'elat' placed within 'red' is 'RELATED'.
(Other definitions for related that I've seen before include "Agnate" , "Akin, associated" , "Like family members" , "Connected by family ties" , "were sympathetic" .)
