Chap, say, with ace wine shop (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bodega

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

'chap say with ace' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'bod' (I've seen this in other clues).
'say' becomes 'eg' (both can mean 'for example').
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'ace' becomes 'a' (abbreviation).
'bod'+'eg'+'a'='BODEGA'

(Other definitions for bodega that I've seen before include "Small Hispanic wine-shop" , "winestore" , "Liquor store" , "Wine-shop in a Spanish-speaking country" , "Small shop in Spain selling wine and groceries" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
