The maximum voltage on the output of a wind-powered electric generator is purely a design choice. It would be chosen to maximize efficiency and minimize cost for the rated power output, or may be chosen to match the chosen conversion equipment.
The original windmill uses wind power to grind grain. The name was then applied to wind-powered water pumps.

That likely depends upon the voltage regulator, whether the voltage is AC or DC and whether the generator is AC single, two or three phase. A car generator or alternator put out just over 12 volts (to recharge the battery) regardless of the speed of the car and RPM of the engine because voltage is regulated. A windmill producing AC can use a transformer to step up (or down) output voltage as required for local use or transmission. Of course a particular design windmill will likely have a specified maximum output voltage based upon wire insulation, etc.
