Disowned aide, put out, getting into the wine (10)
I believe the answer is:
repudiated
'disowned' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'aide put out getting into the wine' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'getting into' indicates putting letters inside.
'the wine' becomes 'red' (red is a type of wine).
'aide'+'put'='aideput'
'aideput' anagrammed gives 'pudiate'.
'pudiate' inserted within 'red' is 'REPUDIATED'.
