Wine reputed to be somewhere in Egypt (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

port said

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

'be somewhere in egypt' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'wine reputed' is the wordplay.
'wine' becomes 'port wine' (port wine is a kind of wine).
'reputed' becomes 'said' (I've seen this in another clue).
'port'+'said'='PORT SAID'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for port said that I've seen before include "Mediterranean city" , "Egyptian city" , "Place" .)
