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.

"Warum trinkst du Wein nicht?" is not correct but in other exercise "Warum sind wir nicht Freunde?" is correct. Why not "keine Freunde" then? I am confused.
