Rice wine gives benefit (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sake

I believe this is a double definition.

'rice wine' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'benefit' is the second definition.
(I know that sake is a type of benefit)

'gives' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sake that I've seen before include "A cause" , "Benefit (for Pete?)" , "Japanese rice wine" , "Japanese alcoholic drink made from rice" , "Benefit - Japanese liquor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
