'there's no duty here' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'no charge for wine' is the wordplay.
'no charge' becomes 'free' (synonyms).
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'wine' becomes 'port' (port wine is a kind of wine).
'free'+'port'='FREE PORT'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for free port that I've seen is " Haven open to all traders".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
