We hire inn out to have a drink (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
rhine wine
'a drink' is the definition.
(Rhine wine is an example)
'we hire inn out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'we'+'hire'+'inn'='wehireinn'
'wehireinn' anagrammed gives 'RHINE WINE'.
'to have' is the link.
(Another definition for rhine wine that I've seen is " Regional drink such as hock".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
