Wine barrel emptied in inn, chance for recycling? (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chenin blanc

'wine' is the definition.
(Chenin blanc is an example)

'barrel emptied in inn chance for recycling?' is the wordplay.
'emptied' means to remove the middle letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'for recycling?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'for recycling' mean this).
'barrel' with its middle removed is 'bl'.
'inn'+'chance'='innchance'
'innchance' is an anagram of 'cheninanc'.
'bl' placed within 'cheninanc' is 'CHENIN BLANC'.

(Other definitions for chenin blanc that I've seen before include "Loire or California grape - NBC Channel I (anag)" , "Type of white wine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
