The bill for some table wines? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tab

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

'the bill' is the definition.
(tab is a kind of bill)

'some table wines?' is the wordplay.
'some' says to take the initial letters.
'wines?' becomes 'ab' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The first letter of 'table' is 't'.
't'+'ab'='TAB'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tab that I've seen before include "Check" , "Tag" , "Tally at bar (colloq.)" , "ticket" , "Bar tally; small flap" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
