News item about wine (6)
I believe the answer is:
report
'news item' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'about wine' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'wine' becomes 'port' (port is a kind of wine).
're'+'port'='REPORT'
(Other definitions for report that I've seen before include "result of firing?" , "A crack" , "Formal document" , "Describe with a bang" , "Account, of news say" .)
