I know I'm a bit dumb, but I still haven't caught up with what a "winebar" is. Can some one explain?

Why they bother with Ann Pettifor I've no idea: she's clueless. E.g.she claimed recently that central bank issued money is not a form of money unless it is issued in exchange for collateral. See:

It’s probably a “web-inar” Ralph...

Figurative word meaning a “sem-inar” but done via a conference app on the “web”...

So this becomes “webinar”...

English language is easy to create these figures of speech that then become part of the vocabulary...
