Annoy when spilling kir (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

irk

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

'spilling kir' is the wordplay.
'spilling' is an anagram indicator.
'kir' is an anagram of 'IRK'.

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for irk that I've seen before include "Wind up" , "Irritate, annoy" , "English river" , "upset" , "Gall" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
