Carafe of French nectar drunk (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

decanter

'carafe' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'of french nectar drunk' is the wordplay.
'of french' becomes 'de' ('of' in French).
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'nectar' anagrammed gives 'canter'.
'de'+'canter'='DECANTER'

(Other definitions for decanter that I've seen before include "Type of carafe" , "Spirits/wine container" , "Recanted about glass bottle for wine" , "Ornamental bottle into which wine is poured slowly" , "Glass wine-holder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
