Hello! I am back after the most amazing summer. SWMBO has been VERY tolerant but insists I ( we, because his nibs needs to work as well) settle down and get back to studying ( with the Jumbo as the "day off" ) I have learnt so much about myself from him, even though he is a bit younger. I am still tingling with memories!
And, guess what! I have only one clue that I can't quite fathom and I am hoping that my great tutors are still here, offering support to all and sundry.
This is the clue: Limited penalty for pinching wine. I have ?i?i?e. So finite might be the answer. I can see " fine" for the penalty but I cannot get the " it" part ( or the wine part)
Please help

Thanks a million! I didn't know that IT is short for Italian vermouth. ( Not sure what vermouth is tbh). So I would have struggled to make sense of it. Anyway, it is done. Thank you all. And thanks for the warm welcome. Glad to be back!!!
