Engrossed in old wine (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intent

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

'engrossed' is the definition.
(I know that engrossed can be written as intent)

'in old wine' is the wordplay.
'old wine' becomes 'tent' (type of Spanish wine. I am not sure about the 'old' bit.).
'in'+'tent'='INTENT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intent that I've seen before include "With mind fixed on purpose, concentrated" , "Earnest, purpose" , "wrapped up" , "Purpose under canvas" , "Design, aim" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
