Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'wine' (the beverage) + 'lover' (an enthusiastic admirer), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to someone who enjoys wine. This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common noun phrase pattern, making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Wine lover creates a simple picture: a lover of wine, someone enjoying the smell and taste of different bottles. That's why wine lover means 'a person who really enjoys and often knows a lot about wine'.
