Taxi reversed by such drunken oenophile? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bacchus

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

'oenophile?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'taxi reversed by such drunken' is the wordplay.
'taxi' becomes 'cab' (synonyms).
'reversed' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'drunken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cab' backwards is 'bac'.
'such' with letters rearranged gives 'chus'.
'bac'+'chus'='BACCHUS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bacchus that I've seen before include "Greek god of booze" , "Greek god of wine, also called Dionysus" , "Another name for Dionysus, Greek god of drink" , "Roman god of wine and revelry" , "Greek god of boozing" .)
