The phrase "have the gall to" means to have the audacity or nerve to do something that is considered bold, disrespectful, or inappropriate. It often implies that the action taken is surprising or shocking given the circumstances. For example, if someone makes a rude comment in a formal setting, one might say they "had the gall to speak like that."

What does gall to whine mean?

That depends on whether you actually mean 'whine' or if you have a typo for 'wine'. You might say something like 'I don't know how she has the gall to whine' meaning that you are surprised someone has the effrontery to complain. On the other hand gall is a bitter substance, and 'wine mixed with gall' was offered to Christ when He was dying on the cross. Why the wine was mixed with gall is a matter for debate, as people have different theories about exactly what it was, but adding gall to wine makes it bitter.
