Fish starter for Spanish gent with no wine (10)
I believe the answer is:
chardonnay
'wine' is the definition.
(Chardonnay is an example)
'fish starter for spanish gent with no' is the wordplay.
'fish starter' becomes 'char' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'spanish gent' becomes 'don' (formal term of address for a man in Spanish).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'no' becomes 'nay' (archaic form of 'no').
'char'+'don'+'nay'='CHARDONNAY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chardonnay that I've seen before include "White wine grape" , "Variety of white wine" , "drink" .)
