I will say this one did seem satisfying to finally solve. I’m getting old! We do have a nice stack of 11s right in the center of the grid, and these will feature prominently in the comments below.

Also, not really sure the the clue for 39A TELEPROMPTER needs a ? That is quite literally the job of a TELEPROMPTER. Maybe I’m just overanalyzing that one and I’m cranky because I didn’t get it right away. Red wine and rice are types of VINEGARS, but they are not VINEGARS as the clue leads me to believe.
