Company offering service for six, wine served up (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

provider

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

'company offering service' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'for six wine served up' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'pro' (as in being 'pro' something).
'six' becomes 'VI' (Roman numerals).
'wine' becomes 'red wine' (red is a type of wine).
'served up' says the letters should be written in reverse (in a down clue, going upwards).
'red' back-to-front is 'der'.
'pro'+'vi'+'der'='PROVIDER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for provider that I've seen before include "Supplier" , "Source of support" .)
