Complain audibly at drink (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wine

'drink' is the definition.
(wine is an alcoholic drink)

'complain audibly' is the wordplay.
'complain' becomes 'whine' (whining is a kind of complaining).
'audibly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'whine' sounds like 'WINE'.

'at' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for wine that I've seen before include "A sweet white cargo of Masefield's" , "Fermented grape juice" , "Drink made from grapes" , "See 18" , "Frascati, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
