Wine to shift in big village local? (6)

I believe the answer is:

townie

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

'big village local?' is the definition.
'townie' can be an answer for 'local?' (I've seen this in another clue). I am unsure of the 'big village' bit.

'wine to shift' is the wordplay.
'shift' is an anagram indicator.
'wine'+'to'='wineto'
'wineto' with letters rearranged gives 'TOWNIE'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for townie that I've seen before include "Urban type" , "knows little of the country?" , "city type" , "No countryman" , "Inhabitant of an urban area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
