I think fine means something like good enough or acceptable. Here are some examples:
Dinner tasted good.
The dinner was tasty.
Dinner tasted fine.
The dinner was acceptable.

Often interchangeable:
We can sit at any of these tables, they all look fine. (meaning acceptable)
We can sit at any of these tables, they all look good. (same, but slightly less common wording)
There were some incredibly fine examples of stone carving in the old castle. (meaning high quality, refined)
There were some incredibly good examples of stone carving in the old castle. (slightly different meaning than fine, does not necessarily mean refined or high level of workmanship)
Good is very basic.
Fine can mean good enough, or it can imply very high quality or high level of craftsmanship.
