County symbol: two bottles? (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red rose

'county symbol' is the definition.
(symbol associated with Lancashire)

'two bottles?' is the wordplay.
'two bottles?' can mean two replacements for 'bottle'.
'bottle' becomes 'red' (type of wine).
'bottle' becomes 'rose' (type of wine).
'red'+'rose'='RED ROSE'

(Other definitions for red rose that I've seen before include "House of Lancaster symbol" , "emblem of war" , "old battle emblem" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
