For such conditions: winter + strong wind, I bought the VANGO HELVELLYN 200.

I love my Vango Helvellyn 200. Great vestibule, plenty room inside and standing on its own means it's way easier to move if you realise your spot isn't a great pitch. I also have an OEX Bobcat that I have a bit of a love hate relationship with but a lot of people swear by them. It's a lighter option than the Helvellyn, has a decent vestibule and it's got a built in footprint for the vestibule too, which I really like. It's a touch cramped though and I struggle with the sloping back.

I'm assuming you're UK? Something by Vango or berghaus from GoOutdoors will do you fine. No reason to spend money if you don't need it (I killed a Vango tent in 3 weeks last year though so if it's more than an emergency tent then you may want to) Warning - last year camping in the black forest was near impossible without booking. I crossed it twice and it was slammed everywhere. The Vosges in contrast was lovely. Nice and quiet by school holiday standards so I'd head there first.
