What does "line winds" mean?
Context:
| Chinese food becomes hot again. Recently there's a report from forbes.com which vividly decribes how popular a Chinese restarant is: Every day at noon, a 30-minute line winds outside the 900-square-feet store of Xi’an Famous Foods in midtown Manhattan. Many of those in line may be unfamiliar with Xi’an, yet they all know the city’s signature dishes—spicy cumin lamb burgers, cold skin or hand-ripped noodles, and lamb “Pao-Mo” soup. Despite its surging popularity in New York, Xi'an foods is not even included in the Eight Culinary Traditions of China: Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Szechuan, and Zhejiang cuisines. The traditional Chinese food culture is rich, extensive and profound. There is Chinese cuisine wherever Chinese people are found. Is there a place around your residence where you can find Chinese foods? Have you tried any authentic Chinese foods outside of China before? Welcome to join this activity to share pictures of Chinese foods with us here. |

The natural English expression is 'Chinese food', not 'Chinese foods'.

... a 30-minute line (subject of the sentence) winds (main verb) outside the 900-square-feet store.
Wind, the verb, is pronounced with the long i sound,, unlike wind, the noun, which has the short i sound.
I have to wind the pendulum clock that belonged to my grandmother once a week. (verb)
The wind is blowing from the east today. (noun)
