Wine and nuts I consumed in time (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

madeira

'wine' is the definition.
(Madeira is an example)

'nuts i consumed in time' is the wordplay.
'nuts' becomes 'mad' (I've seen this in other clues).
'consumed in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'time' becomes 'era' (I've seen this before).
'i' put within 'era' is 'eira'.
'mad'+'eira'='MADEIRA'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for madeira that I've seen before include "Cake - wine" , "Sponge-cake" , "Portuguese island off northwest Africa" , "Rich, fortified white wine" , "Portuguese island, capital Funchal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
