Foil, no good, wrapping new grape variety (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scuppernong

'grape variety' is the definition.
(I know that Scuppernong is a grape variety)

'foil no good wrapping new' is the wordplay.
'foil' becomes 'scupper' (I've seen this before).
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'wrapping' is an insertion indicator.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'no'+'g'='nog'
'nog' going around 'n' is 'nong'.
'scupper'+'nong'='SCUPPERNONG'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
