Trouble dry salesman recalled (7)
I believe the answer is:
perturb
'trouble' is the definition.
(I know that perturb is a more specific form of the action the trouble)
'dry salesman recalled' is the wordplay.
'dry' becomes 'brut' (type of wine).
'salesman' becomes 'rep' (sales representative).
'recalled' is a reversal indicator (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'brut'+'rep'='brutrep'
'brutrep' backwards is 'PERTURB'.
(Other definitions for perturb that I've seen before include "Disturb greatly" , "Bother" , "Disturb the composure of" , "Disconcert" , "upset" .)
