I've watched so many videos and kept tripping over the "winding onto the peg" part. It almost seemed like trick photography and I didn't get it. This explains is so clearly -- thank you!

Does the winning the wire towards the top better than ending the string on the bottom since the string lay more straight and therefore hold the tuning better?

Clear and effective! May I be so bold as to ask you a question? In high-pitch strings, I need such a high number of windings to get the right pitch that I often run out of space on the metal piece. Is there a way to avoid so many windings? Thanks!

Cut the string shorter so you don't have so many windings. As long as it is nylon monofilament, you can cut it wherever you need to. Wound strings will have a tail past the length of the string. Do not cut the wound part as the string will unravel. But for short strings like you're describing, just trim it more so you don't end up with too many windings around the pin.
