It's been said that the difference between a religion and a cult is the size of membership.

Probably because it has wine in the title. Maybe they think it contains alcohol or at least sounds like it does. Ridiculous.I had to look up Cheerwine. I had never heard of it before:
Cheerwine - Wikipedia

TLDR? Uniquely southern. Cherry flavored soda, very fizzy. No alcohol ever. Maybe it stains the white shirts and that is why Jane does not approve.
The World of Faith Fellowship might just interest you if you want a cult that crawls up your backside and tries to control every aspect of your life.

I am not so sure how long I would last with that particular group.
I wonder want motivates a person to join a group like this.
Maybe they feel this is necessary to find the truth.
A bunch of truth seekers.

This quote my the AP article that I linked may partially answer your questions. It looks as it is a combination of Jane's charisma and going after people that were already victims of some sort:
"It was Whaley’s personality as much as her message — “strong prayer” and deliverance turn around troubled lives and assure salvation — that attracted people to the church, former members said.
When she started Word of Faith in her early 40s, some of the former members recall her as a motherly figure offering hope to those struggling with alcohol and drugs, or stuck in bad marriages. She filled a spiritual and emotional void, showering new congregants with love and attention."
