Crossword Genius

Got to pine wine boxes (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reached

'got to' is the definition.
('reach' can be a synonym of 'get to')

'pine wine boxes' is the wordplay.
'pine' becomes 'ache' (synonyms).
'wine' becomes 'red' (red is a type of wine).
'boxes' means one lot of letters goes inside another (the outside letters must 'box' inside letters in).
'ache' inserted within 'red' is 'REACHED'.

(Other definitions for reached that I've seen before include "Cad here (anag.)" , "Attained" , "Stretched or arrived" , "Came to (a place)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
