Crossword Genius

It's one variety of vines or bubbly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

version

'it's one variety' is the definition.
(version is a kind of variety)

'vines or bubbly' is the wordplay.
'bubbly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'vines'+'or'='vinesor'
'vinesor' anagrammed gives 'VERSION'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for version that I've seen before include "Something a little different - so riven (anag)" , "Model" , "Sort" , "Translation - personal account" , "Particular account of a matter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
