Formed by combining 'wine' and the gerund 'growing' (grow + -ing), directly meaning cultivating grapes for wine.

Etymology

The word winegrowing is easy to remember. It joins wine ('the drink from grapes') and growing ('making plants grow'), so it refers to the work of growing grapes to make wine.
