Crossword Genius

He has little money for French wine (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vincent

'he' is the definition.

'little money for french wine' is the wordplay.
'little money' becomes 'cent' (I've seen this before).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'french wine' becomes 'vin' (I've seen this before).
'cent' after 'vin' is 'VINCENT'.

'has' is the link.

(Other definitions for vincent that I've seen before include "man" , "- van Gogh, painter" , "-- Van Gogh, artist" , "See 21 Across" , "Van Gogh's first name" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
