Greatly admired wine always gets consumed (7)

I believe the answer is:

revered

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

'greatly admired' is the definition.
'revered' can be an answer for 'admired' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'greatly' bit.

'wine always gets consumed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'wine' could be 'red' (red wine is a kind of wine) and 'red' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for revered that I've seen before include "Highly respected" , "Held in awe" , "Venerated" , "Idolised" , "worshipped" .)
