Half of cellar wine turned up in store (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

larder

'store' is the definition.
(food store)

'half of cellar wine turned up' is the wordplay.
'half of' indicates taking half.
'wine' becomes 'red' (red is a type of wine).
'turned up' is a reversal indicator.
'red' reversed gives 'der'.
'cellar' halved is 'lar'.
'lar'+'der'='LARDER'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for larder that I've seen before include "Place where food is kept" , "Cool store" , "Stock of provisions" , "Pantry" , "Store cupboard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
