First make a list of all the vocabulary you can think of related to wine, buying & selling, and Hitler! Next, find out about Fuhrerwein by reading this article. Do you see any of the vocabulary from your lists? Can you use the article to find more accurate phrases than some of the ones you listed? Look at vocabulary from the article broken down into lexical sets in this handout. Give each lexical set a name and try to work out the meaning of any new vocabulary from context.
A simple exercise for exploring new vocabulary you find in an article is to make a list of all the noun phrases that refer to the main topic of the article, and then try to add adjectives and verbs to the noun phrases to retell the story. Then check the original text for the authentic vocabulary that was actually used. An example from this article can be found here.
