Morphology
The meaning 'a shop where wine is sold' is directly and transparently composed from 'wine' (the product) + 'shop' (a place to buy goods). This straightforward noun+noun compound follows common compounding patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will reliably infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Wine shop comes from the simple, literal idea of a place that sells wine, with barrels and shelves of bottles where people pick a bottle to take home. That's why it means 'a shop where wine is sold'.
