Overturned lidless canister to get some wine (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retsina

'some wine' is the definition.
(type of Greek wine)

'overturned lidless canister' is the wordplay.
'overturned' is a reversal indicator.
'lidless' means to remove the first letter.
'canister' with its initial letter removed is 'anister'.
'anister' written backwards gives 'RETSINA'.

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for retsina that I've seen before include "Greek drink" , "Flavoured Greek white wine - nastier brand" , "Oily-tasting Greek white wine" , "Greek wine - nastier sort" , "Type of Greek wine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
