Morphology

viniferous = vini + fer + ous

This is a learned classical formation built on the wine-related combining form vini- plus a bearing-related stem, but the components are not likely to be recoverable for an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Viniferous comes from Latin vinum 'wine' and -fer 'bearing'. Think of wine or vine to remember it as 'bearing wine', which is why it means 'containing or flavored with wine'.
