Crossword Genius

Endless red wine to declare (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

report

'declare' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'endless red wine' is the wordplay.
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'wine' becomes 'port' (port is a kind of wine).
'red' with its last letter removed is 're'.
're'+'port'='REPORT'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for report that I've seen before include "Sharp noise; rumour" , "Formal document" , "Inform about the sound of thegun" , "A crack" , "Noise - information" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
