I explained Science for 17d earlier:

SC = that is (Latin). Then EN (bridge players) in ICE (diamonds).

[Quizmonkey]

Chambertin (chamber + tin). Answer's a wine from Burgundy.

Sorry,patsyann. I should have included an answer for 16d, wwhich has previously been answered.

Agent No un

[Storm Chaser]

ulysses100, just to be a pedant also: we are working in English here, not Latin, and 'that is' and 'to wit' (also 'namely' ) are synonymous in English, to all intents and purposes. All three terms crop up in crosswords on a regular basis and solvers should consider both 'ie' and 'sc' as forming part of the answer in all cases.

Thank you all for the answers and discussion on how they were worked out.No use just filling in them in with no idea why.
