41 Astaire (dancer, asti/wine, concealing 'are').
Without the clue, I don't know the other one.

Class is right - it's c/cold+lass. Lassi is that yoghurt drink you get in some Indian restaurants, I think.

Sorry, that should have said 'lassi' and drop the 'i' ("I left" in the clue)

The parse for 41a is
wine = Asti / bottles (conceals) (a)re at first (first letter of are being A = Ast(a)i + RE (concerning)
dancer = Astaire (Def)
