We study winding angles of oriented polymers with orientation-dependent interaction in two dimensions. Using exact analytical calculations, computer simulations, and phenomenological arguments, we succeed in finding the variance of the winding angle for most of the phase diagram. Our results suggest that the winding angle distribution is a universal quantity, and that the $\theta$--point is the point where the three phase boundaries between the swollen, the normal collapsed, and the spiral collapsed phase meet. The transition between the normal collapsed phase and the spiral phase is shown to be continuous.
