Squealed feeling returned punch (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sangria

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

'punch' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'squealed feeling returned' is the wordplay.
'squealed' becomes 'sang' (I've seen this before).
'feeling' becomes 'air' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'returned' is a reversal indicator.
'air' back-to-front is 'ria'.
'sang'+'ria'='SANGRIA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sangria that I've seen before include "A party drink" , "Spanish drink of red wine, sugar and fruit" , "Spanish alcoholic drink" , "Spanish sweetened wine drink" , "Spanish spiced wine" .)
