Morphology

vinery = vine (transparent) = vine + ry

Formed from 'vine' + the place-building suffix '-ry' (similar to 'bakery'/'nursery'), so the meaning as a place where vines are grown is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word vinery comes from the everyday word vine, the plant that bears grapes, plus the ending -ery meaning 'a place'. It is like the common word vineyard, so a vinery is a 'place of vines', a farm where grapevines are grown to make wine.
