New, albeit strange bottle of red, perhaps (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

table wine

'bottle of red perhaps' is the definition.
(red wine)

'new albeit strange' is the wordplay.
'strange' is an anagram indicator.
'new'+'albeit'='newalbeit'
'newalbeit' with letters rearranged gives 'TABLE WINE'.

(Other definitions for table wine that I've seen before include "Plonk" , "Drink with meals" , "Drink with meal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
