'charles de gaulle for example' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'dry wine' is the wordplay.
'dry' becomes 'air' (airing is a kind of drying).
'wine' becomes 'port' (port wine is a kind of wine).
'air'+'port'='AIRPORT'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for airport that I've seen before include "The travel depot is a roar pit" , "Eg, Orly, Schiphol" , "Terminal for planes" , "Charles de Gaulle, for instance" , "place with lounges for travellers?" .)
