Ross

I believe the answer is:

claret

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

'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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
