Personal link between modern music and fortified wine (7)
I believe the answer is:
rapport
'personal link between modern' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'music and fortified wine' is the wordplay.
'music' becomes 'rap' (musical genre).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'fortified wine' becomes 'port' (port is a kind of fortified wine).
'rap'+'port'='RAPPORT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rapport that I've seen before include "Bond of sympathy" , "Mutual sympathy" , "Emotional bond" , "Close relationship with a common understanding" , "Harmonious and understanding relationship between people" .)
