Port from shop European put away? Not a chance! (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stornoway

'port' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'shop european put away? not a chance' is the wordplay.
'shop' becomes 'store' (synonyms).
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'put away?' is a deletion indicator.
'not a chance' becomes 'no way' (both are expressions of disbelief).
'store' with 'e' taken out is 'stor'.
'stor'+'noway'='STORNOWAY'

'from' acts as a link.

(Another definition for stornoway that I've seen is " port".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
