Want to nip over for a red? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pinot

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

'a red?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'want to nip over' is the wordplay.
'to nip' anagrams to 'PINOT'.
However, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pinot that I've seen before include "Variety of wine grape" , "Kind of wine grape" , "drink" , "Black or white grape variety" , "Wine-making grape" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
