Top wine collection mentioned in book? (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

best seller

'book?' is the definition.
(best seller is a kind of book)

'top wine collection mentioned' is the wordplay.
'top' becomes 'best' (similar in meaning).
'wine collection' becomes 'cellar'.
'mentioned' shows a homophone (sound like).
'cellar' sounds like 'seller'.
'best'+'seller'='BEST-SELLER'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for best seller that I've seen before include "Book bought in large numbers" , "Popular book" , "Book bought by many" , "Blockbuster" , "What many people are buying" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
