Understanding relationship of music and wine (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rapport

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

'understanding relationship' is the definition.
'rapport' can be an answer for 'relationship' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'understanding' bit.

'music and wine' is the wordplay.
'music' becomes 'rap' (musical genre).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'wine' becomes 'port' (port is a kind of wine).
'rap'+'port'='RAPPORT'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rapport that I've seen before include "Harmonious and understanding relationship between people" , "Close and harmonious relationship" , "Feeling of affinity and harmony" , "Feeling of sympathy and understanding" , "Mutual harmony and affinity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
