Wind up with a star ranking? (4,7,3,3)

'wind up' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'a star ranking?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'one' and 'one' is found within the answer.
'star' could be 'pip' (star on a military uniform) and 'pip' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
