According to most English dictionaries, "A brother-in-law is the brother of one's spouse, the husband of one's sibling, or the husband of one's spouse's sibling."

Thus, your wife's brother-in-law would also be called your brother-in-law. There is not a separate and distinct term in English for this relationship. If you desire to be more specific, you would have to say my wife's brother-in-law or my sister-in-law's husband.

This makes sense in light of an aunt and uncle relationship. Your wife's brother-in-law would be your child's uncle; therefore, it would seem to follow that your wife's brother-in-law is also your brother-in-law.
