I have the following scenario -

window.Wine = Backbone.Model.extend({
  urlRoot: '/wines'

});
window.WineCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
   model: Wine,
   url: "/wines"
});

I have a model and the respective collection defined.

window.WineListView = Backbone.View.extend({
    el: '#wineList',
    initialize: function () {
        this.model.bind("reset", this.render, this);
        this.model.bind("add", function (wine) {
            alert("model added");
        });
    },
    render: function (eventName) {
        _.each(this.model.models, function (wine) {
            $(this.el).append(new WineListItemView({
                model: wine
            }).render().el);
        }, this);
        return this;
    }
});
window.WineListItemView = Backbone.View.extend({
    tagName: "li",
    initiliaze: function () {
        this.render();
    },
    render: function (eventName) {
        var template = _.template($('#wine-list-item').html());
        $(this.el).html(template(this.model.toJSON()));
        return this;
    }
});

The above views creates an individual list item for each model.

window.WineView = Backbone.View.extend({
    el: $("#mainArea"),
    initialize: function () {
        this.render();
    },
    render: function (eventName) {
        var template = _.template($("#wine-details").html(), {});
        $(this.el).html(template);
    },
    events: {
        "click #save_form": "save_form"
    },
    save_form: function () {
        var wine = new Wine();
        wine.save();
        return false;
    }
});
window.HeaderView = Backbone.View.extend({
    el: '.header',
    initialize: function () {
        this.render();
    },
    render: function (eventName) {
        var template = _.template($('#header').html());
        $(this.el).html(template());
        return this;
    },
    events: {
        "click .new": "newWine"
    },
    newWine: function (
