I think there is a good summary for "nicht" and "kein": https://deutsch.lingolia.com/en/grammar/sentence-structure/negation
For sentence structure I can recommend that site for beginners. It is does not cover all possible sentences a German can image, but it is good for an overview: https://deutsch.lingolia.com/en/grammar/sentence-structure/main-clauses

Man könnte schreiben :Warum trinkst du DEN Wein NICHT? Aber das ist hier NICHT gefragt.

Why is wieso not acceptable here? My understanding is that it can mean "How come?" - How come you are not drinking wine?
