How do you refill the Wine board in a two-player game?

Quick answer

In a 2-player game, place 3 double hex tiles on the vineyard depot and 1 double hex tile on the vineyard store at the start of each phase.

Details

Before each phase (except the very start of the game), remove any leftover double hex tiles from the vineyard depot and vineyard store, then replenish all spaces one by one from the cloth bag with random double hex tiles [p.19 — PLAYING THE GAME]. The exact number depends on player count: in a 4-player game you place 6 tiles on the depot and 3 on the store, while "In a 2- or 3-player game, place 3 double hex tiles on the vineyard depot and 1 or 3 tiles on the store depending on the player count" [p.19 — PLAYING THE GAME].

This means for 2 players specifically, the store gets only 1 tile, whereas for 3 players it gets 3 tiles — the depot amount (3) stays the same for both 2- and 3-player games [p.19 — PLAYING THE GAME].

Watch out: Spaces on the vineyard store/depot marked with "3" should only be filled when playing with 3 players — leave them empty in a 2-player game [p.19 — PLAYING THE GAME].
