9a. Port wine has run out early, many waiters said (8) - SYRACUSE (Port)
It looks like a homophone of 'Queues' (many waiters said), but the only 'Wine' I can find that seems to fit is 'Syrah', but that doesn't fit with 'run out early' so I think I've gone wrong.
That's a bore, travelling back after leaving starting point (4) - ?A?N - Is it YAWN? If so how is it parsed?
