How do I make Gvim word wrap in such a way that doesn't break words in the middle?

Looks like there is a solution online after all.
:set formatoptions=l
:set lbr

You can
:set nowrap
to just let huge lines scroll of the edge of your screen. But tw is probably the better way to go.
:set tw=78
sets the text width to 78 characters. You can use "[movement]gq" to re-wrap some text.
You can also use wrapmargin, which the manual defines as:
Number of characters from the right window border where wrapping
starts. When typing text beyond this limit, an <EOL> will be inserted
and inserting continues on the next line.
