Drunk cuts meal, finding wine (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

muscatel

'wine' is the definition.
(muscatel is a kind of wine)

'drunk cuts meal' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates an anagram.
'cuts'+'meal'='cutsmeal'
'cutsmeal' is an anagram of 'MUSCATEL'.

'finding' is the link.

(Other definitions for muscatel that I've seen before include "Flavoured wine made with calumets" , "Rich sweet wine" , "drink" , "Sweet aromatic grape used for raisins, wine" , "Sweet grape variety" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
