Nice wine? Ultimately opened a can for curry (8)

I believe the answer is:

vindaloo

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

'for curry' is the definition.
(type of curry)

'nice wine? ultimately opened a can' is the wordplay.
'nice wine?' becomes 'vin' ('wine' in French. I am not sure about the 'nice' bit.).
'ultimately' says to take the final letters.
'can' becomes 'loo' (both can informally mean toilet).
The last letter of 'opened' is 'd'.
'vin'+'d'+'a'+'loo'='VINDALOO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vindaloo that I've seen before include "Given hot meal" , "takeaway?" , "As hot food" , "Curry dish -- Avon lido (anag)" , "Type of hot curry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
