Wine Society leaves jar (4)
I believe the answer is:
hock
'wine' is the definition.
(hock is a kind of wine)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hock that I've seen before include "Hamstring" , "Buy property, say" , "White wine and horse's joint" , "Animal joint - German white wine" , "Dry wine; joint; pawn" .)
