Crossword Genius

Consider wine, eating fish (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regard

'consider' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'wine eating fish' is the wordplay.
'wine' becomes 'red' (red wine is an example).
'eating' is an insertion indicator.
'fish' becomes 'gar' (gar is a kind of fish).
'red' placed around 'gar' is 'REGARD'.

(Other definitions for regard that I've seen before include "hold in respect" , "Consideration" , "Deem, view" , "Former gold coin" , "Care" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
