This video is actually rather confusing. It needs more simple-to-complex explanation in the beginning.

You can set highpass filters to cut below any frequency, If you cut below 100 hz or so, it would kill most of the wind noise and wouldn't effect the vocal at all. But windscreens are the best solution.
