Wine and instrument not at home (6)
I believe the answer is:
claret
'wine' is the definition.
(claret is a kind of wine)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for claret that I've seen before include "Dark purplish-red colour" , "Red wine from southern France" , "Deep purplish-red" , "vessel might contain this?" , "Deep purplish colour" .)
