Get through with wine examined at the border (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

passport

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

'examined at the border' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'get through with wine' is the wordplay.
'get through' becomes 'pass' (I've seen this before).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'wine' becomes 'port' (port is a kind of wine).
'pass'+'port'='PASSPORT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for passport that I've seen before include "Official document required for international travel" , "Document allowing travel abroad" , "entry permit?" , "This ensures admission" , "Authorization to go abroad and return" .)
