Present participle of 'wine': entertaining someone with wine, or the act of complaining and whining in Caribbean usage.
From 'wine' (the beverage, from Old English 'win,' from Latin 'vinum'). The Caribbean dance meaning developed from a different root, possibly Kikongo 'wina' (to twist).
In Caribbean culture, 'wining' is a specific hip-rotating dance move that became globally famous through reggae, while in British English the same spelling describes a fancy dinner—completely different words that look identical.
