Like the bad wine Ivan Grey made (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vinegary

'like the bad wine' is the definition.

'ivan grey made' is the wordplay.
'made' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ivan'+'grey'='ivangrey'
'ivangrey' anagrammed gives 'VINEGARY'.

(Other definitions for vinegary that I've seen before include "Acerbic" , "Peevish" , "bitter" , "Sour tasting" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
