Winner over season consuming new celebratory drink? (9)
I believe the answer is:
champagne
'celebratory drink?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'winner over season consuming new' is the wordplay.
'winner' becomes 'champ' (I've seen this in another clue).
'over season' becomes 'age' (season can mean a period or age. I am not sure about the 'over' bit.).
'consuming' indicates putting letters inside.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'age' placed around 'n' is 'agne'.
'champ'+'agne'='CHAMPAGNE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for champagne that I've seen before include "Sparking drink" , "Sparkling wine of north-eastern France" , "The drink called bubbly" , "toast can be made with it" , "region of France" .)
