The freezing point would be lowered from 0 °C to about -6 °C by the alcohol alone. In addition, there are some sugars, salts, etc. which will lower the freezing point a little more.
It's important to realize, however, that the wine will not all freeze if cooled down to that freezing point. When some ice starts to form, it contains almost pure water, leaving the remaining liquid with an increased concentration of alcohol etc, and hence a lower freezing point. Pure ethanol has a freezing point of around -117 °C. So even if your car gets cold, you'll get wine slush, not solid wine ice.
Nonetheless, if it's good wine, you shouldn't be carrying it around in the trunk because it might be damaged by heat. Also, if some does freeze, the increased volume of the ice (water is weird that way) might increase the pressure enough to slide the cork out some, and degrade the seal. If you were more unlucky, perhaps the ice could plug the neck and the bottle might crack.

What is the boiling point of red wine?
Red wine has many different parts to it, each chemical with different boiling points. The majority of the wine is water, which has a boiling point of 100 degrees centigrade. The alcohol or ethanol has a boiling point of 78.1 degrees centigrade. These are the main constituents of wine.

Is the boiling point a negative number for neon?
Whether or not the boiling point of neon is negative depends on the temperature scale used to describe the boiling point. If the boiling point is given in Celsius or Fahrenheit, the boiling point is negative. However, in Kelvin, which cannot be negative, the boiling point is positive.
