'wind' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'flatulent? in the end booze' is the wordplay.
'in the end' says to take the final letters.
'booze' becomes 'wine' (wining is a kind of boozing).
The final letter of 'flatulent' is 't'.
't'+'wine'='TWINE'

'can give you' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for twine that I've seen before include "wind" , "Stout string" , "can get into knots" , "Tough string" , "twist" .)
