Produced a lot of revolutionary dry wine (7)
I believe the answer is:
madeira
'wine' is the definition.
(Madeira is an example)
'produced a lot of revolutionary dry' is the wordplay.
'produced' becomes 'made' ('make' can be a synonym of 'produce').
'a lot of revolutionary dry' becomes 'ira' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'made'+'ira'='MADEIRA'
(Other definitions for madeira that I've seen before include "drink" , "Rich, fortified white wine" , "Dessert wine from a Portuguese Atlantic island" , "Portuguese island off northwest Africa" , "A fortified wine, a rich sponge" .)
