Wine to carry in for orchestra member (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clarinet

'orchestra member' is the definition.
(clarinet is an orchestral instrument)

'wine to carry in' is the wordplay.
'wine' becomes 'claret' (claret is a kind of wine).
'to carry' is an insertion indicator.
'claret' going around 'in' is 'CLARINET'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for clarinet that I've seen before include "Find an instrument in claret" , "Source of music" , "that works off wind" , "Wind instrument made from Clare tin" , "23 instrument" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
