Drink? Church worker imbibes one — and another one (7)

I believe the answer is:

chianti

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drink?' is the definition.
(Chianti is an example)

'church worker imbibes one and another one' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'church' could be 'ch' (common abbreviation) and 'ch' is present in the answer.
'worker' could be 'ant' (worker is a type of ant) and 'ant' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'i' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chianti that I've seen before include "I can hit (anag) - alcoholic drink" , "Wine produced in Tuscany" , "European wine" , "Italian wine - mountain range" , "Italian offering" .)
