English Idiom: Get wind of (something)
If you get wind of something, then you hear about something secret or not well known.
For example, perhaps a friend of yours is having a party, and they didn’t invite you.
Your friends never talk about the party when you are near them, but one of them makes a mistake, and you get wind of the party.
Once the genie is out of the bottle, it’s too late to put it back in again.
Also, many companies try to have special promotions to build excitement about a new product.
However, they try to keep the special promotion secret until the last minute.
Many times, a reporter or company employee will tell someone about the promotion and the public will get wind of it.
