Father supporting container filled with last of wine (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

procreate

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

'father' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'supporting container filled with last of wine' is the wordplay.
'supporting' becomes 'pro' (being pro something is supporting it).
'container' becomes 'crate' (crate is a type of container).
'filled with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'last of wine' becomes 'e' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'crate' enclosing 'e' is 'create'.
'pro'+'create'='PROCREATE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for procreate that I've seen before include "Make children" , "Get children" , "father" , "To be a breeder" , "Produce offspring" .)
