  Thanks for posting. I didn't like 1A; I think "explorer" is a poor anagram for DIVER. 2D Shouldn't there be "apparently" in the clue? No criticism intended.

    Hi! Thanks for taking the time to solve and comment.

    Four (IV) is inside a type of wine [RED], which is overturned. (backwards), so there is no anagram.

    For 2D, could you explain further?

    Thanks.

      Sorry, in my first comment I meant to write "synonym" rather than "anagram" - senior moment! In 2D the pronunciation of INCAN is different from IN CAN; "apparently" in the clue highlights that difference, I believe. Please correct me if I am mistaken.

        In think "Incan" refers to a person of the Inca empire, so it doesn't have to sound like "in can", just to look like it.
