I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one legless' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'special red wine i'd drunk' is the wordplay.
'special' becomes 'S' (common abbreviation as in Special Air Service).
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'red'+'wine'+'id'='redwineid'
'redwineid' is an anagram of 'idewinder'.
's'+'idewinder'='SIDEWINDER'

'making' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sidewinder that I've seen before include "Burrowing snake" , "Rattlesnake with distinctive motion" , "rattling creature" , "Rattlesnake; misile" , "Rattlesnake - air-to-air missile" .)
