46 Finite, limited. Fine = penalty and It is IT/Italian vermouth, wine.

52 Adulation, flattery. It's A Lud, a law Lord (used when addressing a judge or facetiously) + 'to in a' anagrammed (broadcast).

Glad I could help.

PS I'm sure you meant Reims, rather than Reins?

Hi janiceh
For 46d I get 'finite'
I'm not too sure about the parsing though. Fine is obvious, but how wine and IT fit in I'm not sure...

Splosh, see post 7.
Malone has already supplied the answer "finite" and has explained the parsing.
