The votexes spiral or corckscrew as they trail from the wing tip. The air is spilling from the high pressure under the wing in an effort to equalize with the lower pressure on the top.

Each vortex is spinning in a circle when viewed end on... Depending on your location on that circle there will be an updraft, down draft or cross wind component. The direction of the spinning depends on which wing you look at...
