'suspect communists' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adjective which matches the answer.

'stashed wines?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'wines?' could be 'reds' (wine is a kind of red) and 'reds' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'like' acts as a link.
