Gorged showing greed oddly, after wine case (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

binged

'gorged' is the definition.
('binge' can be a synonym of 'gorge')

'greed oddly after wine case' is the wordplay.
'oddly' means one should take alternating letters.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'wine case' becomes 'bin'.
The alternate letters of 'greed' are 'ged'.
'ged' put after 'bin' is 'BINGED'.

'showing' is the link.

(Another definition for binged that I've seen is " Overindulged".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
