In most systems apache and php running under highly restricted user with big memory restrictions. Also Wine needs to setup it's prefix on first run.

Well yeah, wine --version doesn't get any further then wine launcher itself which has version hardcoded during compile time.

Enable php logging in /etc/php.ini into a file. Make sure it's in place where user running apache can write into. See syslogs for apache itself.
