Cold white wine, almost sweet (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

choc

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

'cold white wine almost' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'white wine' becomes 'hock' (hock is a kind of white wine).
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'hock' with its last letter taken away is 'hoc'.
'c'+'hoc'='CHOC'

(Another definition for choc that I've seen is " Sweet (abbr)".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
