Crossword Genius

Wine waiter finally on the move (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

astir

'on the move' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'wine waiter finally' is the wordplay.
'wine' becomes 'asti' (Italian wine).
'finally' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'waiter' is 'r'.
'asti'+'r'='ASTIR'

(Other definitions for astir that I've seen before include "Busy" , "Excited; out of bed" , "Excitedly moving" , "This isn't still" , "in the land of the living" .)
