Joy almost found after tea and wine (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chablis

'wine' is the definition.
(Chablis is an example)

'joy almost found after tea' is the wordplay.
'joy' becomes 'bliss' (I've seen this before).
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'found after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'tea' becomes 'cha' (cha is a type of tea).
'bliss' with its last letter taken off is 'blis'.
'blis' after 'cha' is 'CHABLIS'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chablis that I've seen before include "French dry white wine" , "Dry white Burgundy" , "Dry Burgundy wine" , "Drink" , "French town noted for white Burgundy wines" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
