He may be wined when taken out (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edwin

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

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

'be wined when taken out' is the wordplay.
'wined' can be anagrammed to 'EDWIN'.
Though, I'm not clear how this is indicated.

'may' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for edwin that I've seen before include "ancient king" , "-- Hubble (astronomer)" , "Anglo-Saxon King" , "- Drood, hero of Dickens' unfinished novel" , "Fellow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
