20D Wine rage (5) looks like TAVEL for wine but not seeing "rage"???

Any ideas on explanation?

Could it possibly mean rage and whine, for wine sounds like whine, indicated by rage. Not sure, but I have seen these kind of clues before:)

Or possibly taste, as in a trend for rage, and wine tasting?

An interesting analysis and you might well be right but I'll give this some more thought. Thanks!

There is a reference in Lord of the Rings to Tavel being in a terrible rage. Don't know if its anything to do with this

Thanks Ian for that contribution. I'm sure TAVEL is right of course just looking for a full explanation. Yours is interesting!

Hi AB, galen works as it gives talkies across, which is of course correct but the clue for galen is: Physician (GP not ER), and I can't see where galen comes from that. Any thoughts?
