Dessert wine brings on more tremors (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aftershock

'more tremors' is the definition.

'dessert wine' is the wordplay.
'dessert' becomes 'afters' (I've seen this before).
'wine' becomes 'hock' (hock is a kind of wine).
'afters'+'hock'='AFTERSHOCK'

'brings on' is the link.

(Other definitions for aftershock that I've seen before include "Tremor following earthquake" , "Ground-breaking" , "Further tremor following quake" , "gives one the shakes later" , "Secondary earth tremor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
