Complaining cry from first of holidaymakers entering Bordeaux? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

whine

'complaining cry' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'first of holidaymakers entering bordeaux?' is the wordplay.
'first of' suggests taking the first letters.
'entering' is an insertion indicator.
'bordeaux?' becomes 'wine' (bordeaux is a kind of wine).
The initial letter of 'holidaymakers' is 'h'.
'h' put within 'wine' is 'WHINE'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for whine that I've seen before include "Gripe" , "beef?" , "Complain peevishly" , "Nagging complaint" , "Grumble" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
