Crossword Genius

Drunk cuts meal, getting wine (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

muscatel

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

'drunk cuts meal getting' is the wordplay.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cuts'+'meal'='cutsmeal'
'cutsmeal' is an anagram of 'MUSCATEL'.

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

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
