Professional drinker abused ten waiters (4,6)

I believe the answer is:

wine taster

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'professional drinker' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'abused ten waiters' is the wordplay.
'abused' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ten'+'waiters'='tenwaiters'
'tenwaiters' is an anagram of 'WINE TASTER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wine taster that I've seen before include "Drinks sampler" , "Person with refined palate" , "judge turning to drink" , "Person presented bouquets, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
