Centre-part within bistro's wine jugs (7)
I believe the answer is:
carafes
'wine jugs' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'centre-part within bistro's' is the wordplay.
'centre' says to take the centre.
'within' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'bistro's' becomes 'cafe's'.
The middle letters of 'part' are 'ar'.
'ar' inserted inside 'cafes' is 'CARAFES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for carafes that I've seen before include "Wine flasks" , "glass bottles" , "Wine-serving vessels" , "Wine containers" .)
