Drink making socialist complain audibly (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red wine

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

'drink' is the definition.
(I know that red wine is a type of wine)

'making socialist complain audibly' is the wordplay.
'making socialist' becomes 'red' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'complain' becomes 'whine' (whining is a kind of complaining).
'audibly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'whine' is a homophone of 'wine'.
'red'+'wine'='RED WINE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for red wine that I've seen before include "Tent, say" , "Eg, claret" , "Such as Shiraz or Merlot" , "Burgundy perhaps" , "Merlot or Malbec, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
