My French wine, cold according to order? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

monastic

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

'order?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'my french wine cold' is the wordplay.
'my french' becomes 'mon' ('my' in French).
'wine' becomes 'asti' (Italian wine).
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'mon'+'asti'+'c'='MONASTIC'

'according to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for monastic that I've seen before include "Withdrawn" , "Austere" , "Reclusive" , "Relating to life in a cloister" , "Brother's" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
