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

'breathe for start of foreign holiday?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'let wine' is the wordplay.
'let' becomes 'air' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'wine' becomes 'port' (port wine is a kind of wine).
'air'+'port'='AIRPORT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for airport that I've seen before include "Place from which to fly" , "Place for comings and goings -- or a trip (anag)" , "Charles de Gaulle maybe" , "Aviation complex" , "E.g. Prestwick, Gatwick" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
