His 'n her terrible drink (7)

I believe the answer is:

rhenish

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

'drink' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'his 'n her terrible' is the wordplay.
'terrible' is an anagram indicator.
'his'+'n'+'her'='hisnher'
'hisnher' with letters rearranged gives 'RHENISH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rhenish that I've seen before include "Of the river Rhine" , "white wine" , "eg Hock" , "Hock - relating to a European river" , "as a European banker" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
