Chill wine with appreciation reduced for cold game? (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
ice hockey
'cold game?' is the definition.
(ice hockey is played in the cold)
'chill wine with appreciation reduced' is the wordplay.
'chill' becomes 'ice' (icing is a kind of chilling).
'wine with' becomes 'hock' (hock is a kind of wine. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'appreciation' becomes 'eye' (as in having an eye for something).
'reduced' means to remove the last letter.
'eye' with its last letter removed is 'ey'.
'ice'+'hock'+'ey'='ICE-HOCKEY'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ice hockey that I've seen before include "Game played by skaters with a puck" , "Violent sport, big in North America" , "Team game played with long sticks" , "Sport with puck" .)
