Wine and port getting approval from German (5)
I believe the answer is:
rioja
'wine' is the definition.
(Rioja is an example)
'port getting approval from german' is the wordplay.
'port' becomes 'rio' (Rio de Janeiro is a port).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'approval from german' becomes 'ja' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'rio'+'ja'='RIOJA'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rioja that I've seen before include "Spanish wine type" , "Spanish red wine" , "Spanish wine variety" , "Spanish drink" , "kind of red" .)
