"Clues in italics are cryptic indications of partial answers. In each case, the indicated part must be 5 39 (five words in all) to create the full answer to be entered in the grid. Definitions of the resulting entries are supplied by unclued lights."
Good luck with that!

I think 3d in vine.so 1d could be muscatel or muscadet

[dannyk13]

There is also moscatel(sweet wine) but cannot parse any of them glut other than the c for hundred.

[murraymints]

Most ale with c for hundred ?? clutching at straws

[Neveracrossword]

1 D - Muscatel. Sate was the glut and C was the hundred. You're left with Lum, which is another word for 'hat', the theme.

[murraymints]

well done never !

[dannyk13]

Minty, that would make mostcale

[Neveracrossword]

I did this crossword last Thursday, so it was just a matter of remembering the details!

[dannyk13]

Withdraws quickly.

[dannyk13]

Jadzia, please give the BA to neveracrossword.

[murraymints]

was thinking anagram maybe danny..but good job never turned up !

[Neveracrossword]

It was easier for me to help as I knew there was more to the clue than just the clue. If you'd known the extra detail/requirement, I think you'd all have got the answer.

[dannyk13]

:-)

[dannyk13]

If 3d is part of the theme it could be tile(another name for hat)

[Neveracrossword]

Danny, 3 D was 'vine', defining Muscatel - it's a bit complicated to explain the whole theme.
