'daft' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'nasty us wine' is the wordplay.

'us'+'wine'='uswine'
'uswine' anagrammed gives 'UNWISE'.

'having' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for unwise that I've seen before include "Rash" , "Not sensible, foolish" , "Injudicious" , "Not sensible or prudent" , "Foolhardy" .)
