I believe the answer is:

hogshead

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

'wine?' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Much wine' mean 'hogshead' so perhaps 'wine' could also mean 'hogshead')

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hogshead that I've seen before include "Provider of brawn" , "lot of drink" , "Much wine" , "Large cask for alcohol" , "A lot of wine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
