Morphology

winebibber = wine + bibber (semi-transparent) = wine + bibber

The compound 'wine' + 'bibber' directly signals a person who drinks wine, but 'bibber' (from the verb 'bib' meaning to drink) is archaic/rare, making the term only partially transparent to average learners.

Etymology

Winebibber is made of wine and bibber. Bibber comes from an old verb meaning 'to drink', the same root you see in imbibe, so a winebibber is someone who drinks a lot of wine.
