predict

'divine' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'wine imbibed by medieval northerner' is the wordplay.
'wine' becomes 'red wine' (red is a type of wine).
'imbibed by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'medieval northerner' becomes 'pict' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'medieval' bit.).
'red' put inside 'pict' is 'PREDICT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for predict that I've seen before include "Guess (the future)" , "Foresee" , "Forecast" , "Foretell, prophesy" , "Estimate consequence of" .)
