newbie

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fresh starter' is the definition.
'newbie' can be an answer for 'starter'. I'm not sure about the 'fresh' bit.

'case of beaune wine prepared' is the wordplay.
'case of' means to remove the middle letters (outsides of).
'prepared' is an anagram indicator.
'beaune' with its centre removed is 'be'.
'be'+'wine'='bewine'
'bewine' is an anagram of 'NEWBIE'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for newbie that I've seen before include "Beginner" , "Novice" , "Fresh Internet participant" , "Greenhorn" , "Starter - win bee (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
