It feels clammy at first, drenched in wine and beer (8)
I believe the answer is:
tentacle
'it feels' is the definition.
(animal limb used for feeling or touching)
'first drenched in wine and beer' is the wordplay.
'first drenched' becomes 'c' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'wine' becomes 'tent' (type of Spanish wine).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'beer' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'tent'+'ale'='tentale'
'c' put inside 'tentale' is 'TENTACLE'.
'clammy at' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tentacle that I've seen before include "Organ used for grasping and feeding" , "flexible arm?" , "Appendage as on octopus" , "one feels" , "Arm of an octopus" .)
