He gets French wine at a minimal charge (7)
I believe the answer is:
vincent
'he' is the definition.
'french wine at a minimal charge' is the wordplay.
'french wine' becomes 'vin' ('wine' in French).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a minimal charge' becomes 'cent' (I've seen this in another clue).
'vin'+'cent'='VINCENT'
'gets' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for vincent that I've seen before include "man" , "-- Van Gogh, artist" , "- van Gogh, painter" , "See 21 Across" , "Fellow" .)
