Morphology
The meaning 'the process of producing wine' is directly and compositionally derived from 'wine' (the beverage) + 'making' (the act of producing). The noun + -ing activity formation is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Wine making comes from a simple image: people stomping grapes in a big tub to get juice to make wine. The word making just shows the action of turning the juice into a drink. So, wine making today means the whole process of growing grapes and turning their juice into 'wine'.
