Blood — wine (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

claret

I believe this is a double definition.

'blood' is the first definition.
(claret can informally mean blood)

'wine' is the second definition.
(claret is a kind of wine)

(Other definitions for claret that I've seen before include "Cartel for Bordeaux red wine" , "Dark purplish-red colour" , "vessel might contain this?" , "in one's veins?" , "Purplish-red - blood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
