Wine was revolting! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rose

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'wine' is the first definition.
(I know that rose is a type of wine)

'was revolting' is the second definition.
(to rise up is to revolt)

(Other definitions for rose that I've seen before include "sprang up" , "Thorny plant with bright flowers" , "Popular flower" , "Stood" , "Dusky pink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
