Benefit of batting is discussed over wine (6,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

income support

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

'benefit' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'batting is discussed over wine' is the wordplay.
'batting' becomes 'in' (cricket term).
'is discussed over' becomes 'comesup' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'wine' becomes 'port' (port is a kind of wine).
'in'+'comesup'+'port'='INCOME SUPPORT'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for income support that I've seen before include "Social security payment" , "some extra money?" .)
