Building that's cold, with a place for wine (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cabin

'building' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cold with a place for wine' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'C' (eg on taps).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'place' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'placed' mean this (placing the letters)).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wine' becomes 'bin' (a bin is a type of container for wine).
'c' put after 'a' is 'ac'.
'ac' anagrammed gives 'ca'.
'ca'+'bin'='CABIN'

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for cabin that I've seen before include "Small house (built of logs?)" , "Ship's sleeping room" , "Hut or bothy" , "Wooden dwelling" , "One's own room aboard" .)
