Crossword Genius

Wine increased (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rose

I believe this is a double definition.

'wine' is the first definition.
(rose wine is a kind of wine)

'increased' is the second definition.
(rise can mean to increase or go up)

(Other definitions for rose that I've seen before include "grew" , "Prickly plant with bright flowers" , "got out of bed" , "Gained height" , "Wine colour; plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
