MallyH I think the answer is hind
because unusually on this crossword there is a quick version. It appears that this week the answers are the same. In that version 15d Female deer (4)
Been following this thread with interest, can only parse HIND as 'in' in HD (high definition, good picture). But what that's got to do with taking top of a bottle i've no idea.
I do this crossword (and win)regularly There are two crosswords -one cryptic,the other quick. The answers are normally totally different
but today for example :
2d( Quick)Last book of OT (7) =Malachi
2d (Cryptic) Book, hit uplifted a Greek character Answer= Malachi
Therefore hind = female deer must be the answer.
Like others I cannot see why other than H(in)D , Can't see the top of a bottle though
