Cooked most of tripe and onion, getting wine (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pinot noir

'wine' is the definition.
(Pinot noir is an example)

'cooked most of tripe and onion' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator.
'most of' means to remove the last letter.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'tripe' with its last letter taken away is 'trip'.
'trip'+'onion'='triponion'
'triponion' with letters rearranged gives 'PINOT NOIR'.

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for pinot noir that I've seen before include "Wine grape variety" , "Red wine grape" , "18 [WINE]" , "no white wine" , "Fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
