The English Channel.
To the Germans it's the «Ärmelkanal» or «Kanal» for short. («Ärmel» = "sleeve" which I guess is a reference to its shape).
The next question is whether there's any such place as Winière or Wimère or even Wissère (if it's a French/Belgian name then you'd expect the accent on the first "e"). Google Maps doesn't give a hit on any of those, so either we're misinterpreting or the original is misspelled.
