Wind caused by last bit of fruit drink (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

twine

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

'last bit of fruit drink' is the wordplay.
'last bit of' suggests the final letters.
'drink' becomes 'wine' (wining is a kind of drinking).
The last letter of 'fruit' is 't'.
't'+'wine'='TWINE'

'caused by' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for twine that I've seen before include "Interweave" , "wind" , "Knot" , "Tough string" , "Stout string" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
