The only thing that determines when a wing will stall is AOA. Steady state
wind has no effect.
A wing will stall at the same angle of attack. Every time.

I just recently had a BFR in a 172. I honestly couldn't get it to
stall.
We were at 5k ft and departure stall and power off, she just wouldn't
break.
That was that airplane, halfway into attempting a third stall "with the
wind" this time I lost all radios and was forced to make a precautionary
landing. We returned. That night I took a different 172 up, and tried
the stall again, that one broke easily into and with the wind. So in
answer to your question, I don't know. It may very well be airplane
specific. But like you, I had the stick in my gut everytime, and one
plane
wouldn't break, and the other did. Heck, I almost had a spin going with
the second airplane on one attempt.

Oh, excellent point. Absolutely on the head of the nail!
All those clean break stalls were with someone in the other seat.
